Tel Aviv, 1998, summer vacation. Reut finds and reads her grandmother’s secret notebook from the Holocaust. Grandma’s story resonates in Reut’s well-developed imagination, and the fun week in Tel Aviv with Grandpa and Grandma turns into something else entirely. Reut’s relationship with her grandmother changes forever. This mixed-genre, live-action/animation film is based on the childhood memories of the director, who discovered her grandmother’s Holocaust diary when she was thirteen.
