Noa (Neta Riskin Shtisel,) an Israeli grad student living in Berlin is about to graduate and has recently moved in with her German boyfriend, Jörg (Golo Euler The Grand Budapest Hotel.) Suddenly she exper-iences a personal crisis. When her professor rejects her dissertation, a dictionary for untranslatable words, and things become strained with Jörg, she flies back to Israel on a whim, seeking the refuge of the primal nest. But there she discovers home life is no better than when she left it. Her overbearing mother (Hana Laslo) offers little comfort, and the unannounced arrival of Jörg thrusts Noa into deep conflict and puts everyone on edge.
