Michale (Levi) is a young woman working as an accountant at her father’s firm in Tel Aviv, where she is encouraged to engage morally questionable business practices in order to help an important religious institution secure funding for a new school. Outside of work, she balances her obligations as a wife and mother with clandestine meetings with her lover. When an unexpected tragedy occurs, Michale is forced to reevaluate her work and home life, and to question her treatment as a woman in her male-dominated community.
