A tender, character-driven study of Orthodox Jewish family life in Jerusalem, centered on the intimate relationship between a grieving father and son as they navigate faith, tradition, and the possibility of change.

Akiva and Shulem Shtisel, father and son, sit on a little balcony overlooking streets of the Geula neighborhood of Jerusalem. A year has passed since the mother died. All the other children have left the nest, and only Shulam and Akiva remain - quarreling, making up, and laughing about themselves and the rest of the world. All will change when Akiva meets Elisheva.
