Synopsis[edit]
Set in the early 90's in Jerusalem. At the center is a boisterous and drama-filled Jewish-Moroccan family, with numerous members speaking multiple languages (Hebrew, Arabic, French, and French-Moroccan dialect). However, behind the facade of joie de vivre and togetherness hide secrets, lies and an old and painful wound from the past.
