Miri is thirty seven, a flight attendant living an orderly life of her own. One day the Chinese woman who works in her home leaves her small son with her and goes out, and never comes back; the woman has been deported from the country. Because the boy speaks no Hebrew, at first the two of them cannot say anything to one another. Together with her sister Miri gives him a name and begins looking for a way to get him back to his mother. The film looks at the question of migrant labour from the side of a child left behind and sends two strangers on the same journey. Mili Avital plays the lead in Ayelet Menahemi’s ninety minute Israeli film, completed in 2007.
