A married Moroccan woman seeking to start over in Israel struggles with the decision to leave her traditional-minded husband in directors Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz's thought provoking drama. Israel, the late-1970s: Vivian and her husband Eliyahoo are growing apart. While Eliyahoo clings to the traditions of Moroccan culture, Vivian is eager to explore the possibilities of living in a new culture with different values. When Vivian announces to her family that she plans to divorce Eliyahoo, her brothers attempt to convince her that she's making a monumental mistake.
