Avigail, a wild and insecure midshipwoman, returns home to the stuffy Jerusalem apartment she shares with her dysfunctional mother and her 15-year-old, naïve-looking sister. Avigail hopes to untie the chains of childhood and lose her virginity over the weekend. But her return takes a sharp turn: her young sister is pregnant. Now, instead of getting rid of her virginity, she must get rid of a baby.
Followed by Q&A with director Sharon Angelhart
