Assi, a failed actor, returns home to his family after completing reserve duty during the war. Though he dreams of becoming a successful performer, reality finds him teaching theater at the local high school and putting on a nightly cabaret show at the community center. An unexpected turn of events suddenly thrusts him into the spotlight—but not for the reasons he had hoped. Assi is forced to choose whether to give up on his dreams or fully chase them.
