Sarah, a devoted nurse at a well-baby clinic in Haifa, spends her days caring for infants—but longs for a child of her own. Despite years of fertility treatments, her dream remains unfulfilled. When Anya, a young mother in distress, arrives with her baby, Sarah steps in to help, forming a deep bond with Anya and her daughter, Eden. As their connection grows, it becomes a healing force for Sarah’s emptiness, and it seems each woman may offer the other exactly what she needs: a home for one, and a child for the other. Nominated for five Israeli Academy Awards, including Best Film, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress.
