On a coastal
Israeli farm, the Rosko family is quietly struggling to keep up
appearances while hiding their sins, small and large. Disconnected Miri
(Ronit Elkabetz) teaches kindergarten and is having an affair; her
husband Gidi (Tzachi Grad) is an addict who can't hold a job. Son Yoni (Yoav
Rotman) yearns to become a man while practicing for his bar mitzvah and
selling homework assignments to bullies. When their autistic first-born
son Tomer (Michael Moshonov) arrives home unexpectedly after a decade in
an institution, the family falls apart. United around Yoni's chanting of
his Noah's Ark Bar MItzvah portion, the brothers grow closer in a world
of make-believe, as their family life crumbles. It takes a crisis,
Tomer's magical presence and a flood to reunite them and bring to light
what really matters.
