Or (Ivgy) is a beautiful and intelligent teenage girl who lives with her aging ex-prostitute mother Ruthie (Ronit) in a small apartment in Tel Aviv. As Or keeps house, goes to school, and takes a job washing dishes, she also tries to prevent Ruthie from leaving the apartment and going back to her old profession.  Ultimately, Or’s determination to act as her mother’s caretaker leads her to a seemingly inevitable fate. The lack of music and use of a stationary camera underline the film’s raw subject matter, and give Or and Ruthie’s desperation a realistic feel.
