Takes place in the 1990’s, an era in which the kibbutz has adopted capitalist Western values and had lost its socialist human values which were at the root of its establishment. The crumbling of the kibbutz is expressed through five stories, that occur simultaneously. Among them, a friendship between two bachelors comes to a tragic end with the appearance of a strange woman, and a mourning father is attracted to his dead son’s girlfriend while another father finds love for his mentally retarded son.
