Film Synopsis

Dorona is an Israeli woman in her mid-thirties who is driven to despair by her inability to have a child.  Unwilling to resort to adoption, she receives no sympathy or support from her violent husband.  Then she learns, after the death of her mother, that the man she thought was her father is nothing of the sort.  Dorona discovers that she is in fact the product of a brief but passionate love affair that her mother once had with an Algerian man.  With the complicity of her brothers, Dorona sets out to find out more about this episode in her mother's life that she never spoke about, in the hope of finding her biological father.  Her search takes her to France, and what begins as a hunt for a missing father turns into something far ore significant for Dorona and her brothers - a quest for their own identity...
