A tender, darkly comic exploration of grief and rediscovery, where a bereaved father finds unexpected connection and meaning through an unlikely friendship.

When Eyal finishes the week of mourning for his late son, his wife urges him to return to their routine but instead he gets high with a young neighbor and sets out to discover that there are still things in his life worth living for.
