  Eight years ago Noa came to Berlin from Israel to study at the university. Now she is about to graduate. But things does not go well for her: professor refuses her master theses, her German boy friend Jorg goes on a long orchestra tour. Misunderstood and isolated she experiences a personal crisis and decides to return to her homeland for a short break. There she feels much better. Her grandmother’s illness becomes the perfect excuse for Noa to extend her stay, and to avoid facing the problems that are waiting for her in Berlin. But soon the every-day life in Israel begins to haunt her. Sudden arrival of Jorg on the Israeli national memorial day collides the two carefully separated worlds of Noa. Is there a way for Noa to find herself in this chaos?
