This sensitive coming-of-age drama portrays the challenges of new immigrants with rare emotional depth. A single mom and her twelve-year-old son are new arrivals to Israel from Ukraine. Trying to fit in, Pinhas asks permission to join his classmates in bar mitzvah studies, but Tamara, who is highly ambivalent about religion, refuses. To her dismay, Shimon (Yaakov Zada Daniel, Fauda), a religious neighbor, steps in to tutor him. Despite her initial disapproval, Tamara’s growing attraction to Shimon changes all three lives in dramatic and unforeseen ways.
