An Israeli swimming coach living in the United States must unexpectedly return to his native Israel after a ten-year absence. He decides to visit his childhood friend, Yotam, who is running a small flower shop with his future wife, Iris. This seemingly innocuous visit sets in motion a chain of events that irrevocably changes all of their lives. The second feature film from Ofir Raul Graizer (THE CAKEMAKER, SJFF 2018) is a visually iridescent and emotionally uplifting drama set between a flower shop and an ancient monastery, a Chicago swimming pool and the Mediterranean Sea, and life and death itself. Winner, Best Narrative Feature at the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival and Best Actress at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
