Hila is a single mother of a 7-year-old girl named Naomi. Hila discovers that Shaul, her daughter’s father, has returned to Israel with his family after years abroad. Shaul does not know that he is Naomi’s father and is not even aware of her existence. Hila, who is still obsessively in love with Shaul, tries to talk to him but he avoids her, leading her towards a mental breakdown. When Hila’s heart finally opens to another man, she is attacked by anxiety, fearing she will lose Shaul forever.
