Yair, in his early twenties, was in active military service for his country when an explosion took both his legs, his eyesight, and his future. Now, bitter and miserable, Yair resigns himself to his small beachside apartment, with only the ocean’s gentle caress to remind him of the man he used to be.

When Leila, an Israeli-Christian Arab, arrives at Yair’s doorstep, he knows he cannot – must not – trust her. But Leila sees through his brittle, resentful façade.

For the first time since his injury, Yair finds in Leila a determined partner, who shows him not pity – but compassion.

Leila is also no stranger to the pains of complete helplessness. Forced into a violent marriage she never wanted, she had to pay a heavy price for her freedom.

And now, when Leila’s past comes to haunt her, she and the wounded Israeli officer face an impossible choice – one that will change both their lives forever.
