a film by
Yigael Sachs and Noam Gil
Viktor Sabag Itzik Golan Liz Rabian Orly Tobaly
based on a play by Noam Gil
An elderly woman is kidnapped in the middle of the night on a busy street. She identifies as Pauline Weiss, a wealthy philanthropist, and demands her abductors release her back to her rich and loving husband. The three "kidnappers" claim she is their mother, Jackie Amar, a poor widow, who lost her mind after the deaths of her husband and son. The struggle between them intensifies and turns into a war of identities, reflecting the divides and gaps that haunt Israeli society.
