The mother is stressed, the father tries to hang on to non-existent religious ties. The aunt dies on the plane and no one understands anyone, let alone the bureaucracy of immigration authorities. Through the camera of 12-year-old Misha, we experience first hand the comedy and tragedy of immigration from the USSR to Israel in the 1990s.

This film is part of the short film program.
