There is something different about Dvir’s mother. He knows it, and worse still, everyone on his 1970s kibbutz knows it as well. In an utopian system based on equality, being different can be a burden. Dvir is in his Bar Mitzvah year, a time when he must prove through a series of tasks that he deserves to be an adult member of the kibbutz. But at this crucial moment, it becomes more apparent that his kibbutz cannot help his mentally ill mother. As he searches for a direction forward, he must confront the truth about his father’s past, serve as his mother’s advocate, and decide where his own future lies. Director Dror Shaul’s emotionally charged film is based in part on a true story from his childhood collective memories of living on a kibbutz.
