This romantic drama directed by Peter Frye is about the son of a millionaire Jewish family living in Texas who travels to Israel. On his way to the hotel in Tel Aviv after landing at the airport, the son Mike (Seymour Gitin) gets invited to spend some time with a cab driver's family. Before he has time to experience jet lag, the unwanted attentions of a female in the hotel send Mike packing. He ends up with the cabbie's family, a mixed group presided over by an authoritative matriarch (Batya Lancet). She sees no reason why one of her marriageable daughters should not hook up with this millionaire Mike, but Mike has already lost his heart to a model on a magazine cover -- quite a sticky wicket.

The story of the Rovina women—Hanna Rovina, the grande dame of Israeli theatre and a founding member of the national theatre Habima; her only daughter, the celebrated singer Ilana Rovina, known for her unique voice, born from a brief love affair with poet Alexander Pen. Through rare personal and public archival materials, the film reveals the complex world of the Rovinas—a fascinating lineage of women marked by beauty, grace, and strength, yet also by pain, flaws, and life-altering choices. This is a story of women, of mothers and daughters, of fame and solitude, of love and sacrifice, and of the lasting impact of past decisions on generations to come.
