When the solitary Yolanda Moscowitz (award-winning Rita Zohar), a retired French teacher, wakes up in a hospital geriatric ward, she is convinced there must be some mistake. She wants to go home, but she is confined to a wheelchair and a lengthy convalescence with people she believes aren’t anything like her. After all, they are old. But in the depressing ward Yolanda discovers a new, full life, starting with developing a close relationship with Allegra (Shulamit Adar), the stoic woman with whom she shares a room. When she meets Shaul (Moni Moshonov), a former soccer player who is also hospitalized, emotions surface that Yolanda thought had vanished from her life for good. This touching film reminds us not only of life’s fragility, but also of the importance of our emotional lives no matter what our age.
