In a delicate condition: a woman with a burning desire to become a mother finds herself in an exceptional state that challenges everyone around her.

The phone vibrates. A text message flashes on the screen – a text message that could change Merav’s life, even turn it upside down. She trembles, unable to believe it at first: she’s pregnant. Finally. After seven endless years and countless attempts. The lab results say it clearly. At home, she starts building her nest. The months go by, Merav’s body changes, her belly grows. But not everything is as it seems from the outside.

Idan Hubel portrays a woman who, against all external opinions and pressures, holds on to her own version of reality. Her salvation depends on it.

Sensitive, penetrating, with a terrific leading actress.
