About the Film
Every day, Sarah cares for other people’s babies at the Children’s Health Center in Haifa’s impoverished, multi-ethnic Halisa neighborhood, but she also yearns for a child of her own. After two years of failed attempts, her desperate desire for motherhood collides with the struggles of a young mother, culminating in a risky decision with potentially devastating consequences.
This moving story features a touching lead performance by acclaimed Israeli actress Noa Koler (Rehearsals, Checkout, The Wedding Plan).
