Contemporary Jerusalem. An average middle-class Jewish family balances the rituals of family, friends, religion and work. When Eli unaccountably vanishes after a fluke car accident, the ensuing legal and emotional crisis immerses Eli's wife and two sons into a nightmare redefining the boundaries of everything they know, love and believe. While Alma navigates a bureaucratic maze of social services and paperwork, oldest son Menachem has his fragile faith and elusive adolescent peace of mind shaken to the core.
