Plot
[edit]Alma Levitan (Rivka Neumann) is a fashion designer living in Jaffa, working at a large women's clothing store in Dizengoff Center alongside her friend Nili (Nirit Yaron). After her father, David, passes away, she goes to the hospital with Nili to collect his belongings and visit her mother, Ruta (Dina Doron), who is hospitalized after a suspected heart attack. She shows Ruta her father’s watch and informs her of his passing.
David, an amateur painter, had some of his works displayed at a gallery, where Alma finds paintings dedicated to a woman named Mara. After a brief search, she discovers that Mara (Rina Oticel) owns a beauty salon and has a son named Mica (Gidi Rol). Alma soon learns that her father had a long-term affair with Mara, something neither she nor Ruta knew.
Alma reveals this to her mother, who demands that she cease contact with Mara and Mica. Ruta believes Mica to be David’s son, but the truth is that Mara came to Israel alone when her son was three, and David had supported her throughout the years.
