Ya’ara, 24, is attractive, independent, confident, intelligent and blind. She has just begun her studies for her doctorate in mathematics at Princeton when she hears of her cousin Talia’s suicide. She rushes back to Israel.

They were best of friends and twin spirits. Talia saw for both of them and was always the one who believed, and led Ya’ara to believe, that in spite of Ya’ara’s blindness she could see everything.

When Ya’ara joins Talia’s family for the traditional shivah period, she begins to discover the secrets of her cousin’s life. This sends her on an investigation to discover what led Talia to commit suicide.

Lies, secrets and gaps are revealed in this powerful story, both a spine-tingling mystery and a meditation on what we know about those closest to us. This won an Israeli Oscar, and you won’t want to miss it!
