Dorona is an Israeli woman in her mid-thirties who is driven to despair by
her inability to have a child. Unwilling to resort to adoption, she
receives no sympathy or support from her violent husband. Then she
learns, after the death of her mother, that the man she thought was her father
is nothing of the sort. Dorona discovers that she is in fact the product
of a brief but passionate love affair that her mother once had with an Algerian
man. With the complicity of her brothers, Dorona sets out to find out
more about this episode in her mother's life that she never spoke about,
in the hope of finding her biological father. Her search takes her
to France, and what begins as a hunt for a missing father turns into something
far ore significant for Dorona and her brothers - a quest for their own identity...
