Tamar, an ultra-Orthodox girl from an extremist community, is taken to the hospital by her beloved father, who thinks she has had sex. Her relationship with her father and her virginity both are being tested. In an ultra-Orthodox family, the father lies that the daughter was raped. Her father takes her to the hospital for an examination to determine the status of her virginity. The daughter finds herself undergoing an intrusive examination accompanied by questioning without any ability to make her voice heard and tell the truth. She experiences alienation from her family and neglect from the medical staff in a safe room.
