Three sisters in their twenties and from a religious family gather at their widowed mother’s house for Shabbat. The eldest is a non-religious single, radiobroadcaster; the second is a religious middle-class woman in her ninth month of pregnancy; and the youngest daughter married to a religious student is having trouble getting pregnant. Over the intense weekend, old wounds are opened and each woman faces her own womanhood and motherhood.
