Synopsis

Three sisters fight their personal demons and those of a nation as they deal with the sale of their inherited property.

Israel 1995. With the peace process in full swing, Cali meets with her sisters, Darel and Asia, in order to sell the house they grew up in: a piece of paradise in Atlit. They quickly start quarrelling and old tensions resurface. Their parents, Zack and Mona, insist on having their say: four years after their deaths, they randomly appear to fix the electricity, offer marriage counselling and generally weaken their daughters’ resolve regarding the house. To add to the confusion, a mysterious Palestinian boy appears in the property without explanation.

On the 4th November, Yitzhak Rabin’s sudden assassination causes the sisters to further question their motives. What will become of this house in a country where the future holds no promise of peace?
