Before moving to Germany, Shachar plans to propose marriage to his girlfriend, hoping that she will accompany him. His grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, will stop at nothing to prevent him from going to Germany. The conflict becomes inevitable. Cinematic exploration into two different worlds, where two generations unleash their difficulties and judgments with the backdrop of post- World War II.
