Debbie Lasri celebrates her 51st birthday in the psych ward. Riva, her partner, arrives at the ward with Michal, her video-therapy student, hired to make a personal video with Debbie. Michal is drawn into Debbie's world but her story is full of gaps. As curiosity and over-motivation become an obsession, Michal crosses the lines looking for answers. Following Debbie's trail of crumbs, she locates all the sub-characters of the story. The pieces of information revealed to her camera suggest that there is more here than meets the eye.
Michal is 32 years old. She became religious 12 years ago, and only now is she getting married. A month before the wedding, while checking out the catering for the event, the groom has a change of heart and the wedding is called off. Michal feels she’s unable to go back to ordinary life, to the usual course of matchmaking. She feels this is the moment to change something very basic in her personality. A simple belief that God is good and sweet; that He wants to give and is only waiting for her to wish it. Michal goes on a month-long journey lasting up to the planned wedding day: “I have the venue, the dress, the apartment; God can easily come up with my groom.”
Ari Shemer was the greatest singer Israel knew in the 1970's, and a legend in his own lifetime. Decades later, Lenny Shemer, his grandson, turns out to be a musical prodigy and signs up for a famous reality-TV singing competition that may turn him into a pop sensation. So why is his father, Kobi, Ari's son, so underappreciated by his peers? How is it that the great talent seems to have skipped over him with such cruel nonchalance? This is a musical drama about the strange nature of talent, three generations of musicians and the echoes left between them.
