Nava and Yoram are Israeli yuppies living the good life with their two kids and a new house in the suburbs. But underneath their veneer of prosperity lurks a secret that threatens to destroy them. Nava is a social worker who helps battered women, most of them poor. The horrible irony is that the affliction of abuse, so often relegated as a disease specific to the poor, also terrorizes Nava and her children. Genia, a recent immigrant, is one of her clients who is also suffering in an abusive relationship and picks up on the clues that Nava is in a similar predicament. Trapped by love, together they attempt to escape their destructive relationships.
