Plot
[edit]The film portrays the portrait of the Greenbaum family, an Israeli middle-class family living in a community near Jerusalem. The family members live together in the same house, yet each one operates in isolation, within their own world:
David (Alon Pdut) – the father, a Lieutenant Colonel who has just retired from military service after 27 years and struggles to build a new life for himself.
Rina (Shiri Nadav Naor) – the mother, a high school literature teacher who fantasizes about a more exciting life.
Yifat (Mili Eshet) – the eldest daughter, a curious teenager and left-wing activist, who develops a relationship with a young Palestinian man.
Omri (Noam Imber) – the younger son, a quiet and introverted high school student.
Throughout the film, each family member experiences an existential crisis and becomes entangled in a series of fears, secrets, and violence.
