A cold night. A winter’s wind unrelenting at the beginning of a connection between Peter and Lily. In the narrow, mysterious streets of Neve Tzedek, in homes built over a century ago, a mere stone’s throw from the sea and Jaffa, Lily and Peter meet, after much pressure from Neli, a 31-year-old architect. Dating in her golden years, 60-year-old Lily, Neli’s mother, is finally ready to meet 76-year-old Peter, a barely known theater actor. Lily has a 31-year-old secret. It will be revealed in the final line of the film.
