Eli is an Israeli swimming coach living in the United States. A phone call notifies him that his father, who he hasn’t been in touch with, passed away.

Yotam is running a small and beautiful flower shop in Jaffa, together with his fiancée Iris, a talented florist who, like Eli, is not in touch with her family. When Eli comes to visit the two, he will set in motion a serious of events that will affect everyone’s lives.
