Sinopsis

Twenty years have passed since Joseph left behind his entire life - his wife Rebecca, his five sons, his father, and the religious Israeli farming community where he grew up - when he fell in love with a man, the genius rabbi Yoel Rosenzweig. Their affair is long over, but its echoes continue to reverberate through the lives of Joseph, Rebecca, and their sons in ways that none of them could have predicted.
Now, for his fiftieth birthday, Joseph is preparing to have his five sons and the daughter-in-law he has never met spend the Sabbath with him in the Tel Aviv penthouse that he shares with a man - who is conveniently out of town that weekend. This will be the first time Joseph and all his sons will be together in nearly two decades.
The boys' lives have taken widely varying paths. One has become extremely religious, another nationalistic, while another, plagued by insecurity, has sought refuge in the structure of military life. Only the most secular and cosmopolitan fully accepts their father, the others' feelings ranging from ambivalence to bitter resentment.
Joseph longs for reconciliation with his sons, but can they overcome the scars of the past? As they prepare for this reunion, Joseph, his sons, and even Rebecca, must confront what was, what is and what could have been.
