Amara, a young woman adrift in Tel Aviv, impulsively offers shelter to a homeless stranger. But her small gesture sets off a domino effect, drawing her into a quest to repair her fractured community. As Amara navigates a maze of personal and political tensions, she discovers that the true test lies not in the actions she takes, but in the courage to confront her own fears and find meaning in the broken world around her.
