Inspired by Abraham B. Yehoshua's novel, The Lost Lover is a multi-layered dramatic love story about a strained marriage between Adam and his wife Asya. It is a frozen love, punctuated by deep sorrow after the death of the couple's first child. In the background is Dafi, their keen-eyed teenage daughter who finds the love her mother cannot give her in Naim, the young Arab mechanic at her father's garage. Enter Gabriel, a young, vibrant Israeli who has just arrived from Paris. It is at this time that Asya, the seemingly loveless wife and mother, becomes rejuvenated and rediscovers herself and her family.
