Plot

[edit]

Saul is a divorced man who is prone to avoid confrontations. He lives alone in Tel Aviv trying hard to get out of his depressed mental state. He has one daughter, Michal, (Bethany Gorenberg), who lives with his ex Ront (Maya Dagan), he works at the reception of a helath clinic and when a patient bursts at him, he decides to take a holiday and take the train to visit his widowed father (Moni Moshonov) who seems to suffer with a variety of issues and who usually blames the son for all his misfortune. Their first encounter after five years is rather alienating for Saul who discovers that his father is into yoga.
