Yitzhak is the son of a family that emigrated from Iran to Israel. He runs the turkey farm his father built with his own hands. When his son Moti turns thirteen he starts teaching him the trade. But Moti does not want to work in the barn; what interests him is fixing up cars from the junkyard. His mother Sarah tries to bring the two of them together. The grandfather, for his part, tells Yitzhak to take a firm hand. Yitzhak takes his son’s refusal as a rejection of himself. Though he loves the boy dearly, he makes it his business to press the farm on him. Then Darius, the uncle from America, arrives and the balance goes altogether. Navid Negahban takes the lead in Yuval Delshad’s Israeli film of 2015.
