When Vera was young, she was unable to take care of her son and had to give him up for adoption. Years later, when she tried to find him, the institutions told her that her file did not exist. She has continued to look for him ever since. When Cora was young, her doctor told her she could not have children. She has dedicated her life to teaching piano lessons and caring for her adopted son, Egoz, who is about to turn eighteen. Now, the paths of these three — mother, son, and mother — are about to intersect. The encounter will change their lives forever.
