In 2005, on the first day of school at a special education institution in Ness Ziona, a chance encounter forever changed the lives of two young girls, Michal and Paz. What began as a quiet suspicion—sparked by Mali, Paz’s mother, who noticed a striking resemblance between the girls—soon unfolded into a life-altering revelation. After months of waiting and documenting their journeys, official confirmation arrived from the state: Michal and Paz, both adopted as infants, are biological sisters.
Now, as they turn eighteen, the two embark on an emotional and deeply personal journey to uncover the story of their shared past and rediscover the meaning of family.
