The former best friends Laura and Maria have fallen out over a terrible story of deception. They meet again after years of silence on a farm in the Black Forest, where Maria’s terminally ill sister Kathi has retreated.

An Israeli swimming tutor living in Chicago returns to Israel after 10 years of absence to bury his father. An encounter with a beloved childhood friend and his newly engaged girlfriend will set a series of events that will affect everyone’s lives.
