Who´s in it?

What´s the plot?

A charming and deeply moving comic-drama about a young Israeli woman and an abandoned Chinese boy whose lives converge in the most surprising manner.

Miri, a thirty something flight attendant who has been twice widowed, lives with her volatile sister Gila, who is in the throws of a mid-life crisis. Returning home from work one day Miri thinks nothing of being asked to look after their Chinese maid’s young son. But when she fails to return Miri finds herself with a six year old Chinese boy silently waiting for his mother to come back. Thus begins a remarkable journey involving family,
friends and an array of engaging characters, crossing continents and cultures in an attempt to reunite mother and child.

Flawless script, witty dialogue and well crafted visuals are all spiced up with a sensitive insight into human lives and loves, turning this delightful film into a meaningful cinematic experience.
