Award-winning filmmaker Michal Vinik (Valeria Is Getting Married, Working Woman) tells the story of 17-year-old Naama, who spends most of her free time drinking and partying in the hopes of escaping from her parents' constant bickering, worsened by the recent disappearance of her AWOL soldier sister. When a free-spirited new girl shows up at school, Naama falls deeply in love for the first time and the intensity of the experience at once confuses her and gives her life new meaning.
