Plot
The film tells the story of a Jewish-Iranian family of three generations in an agricultural settlement in the Negev, where all the inhabitants immigrated from Iran. Yitzchak runs a turkey farm that he took over from his father. His 13-year-old son Moti is supposed to take over the business one day, but he is not interested in poultry and would rather become a car mechanic instead. The unresolved future of the business and a visit from Jitzchak's brother from the USA exacerbate the already existing tensions between the immigrant (parents and grandparents) and Israeli-born generations.
