Five people on a moshav named Eden, in the middle of Israel, over four stormy weeks. Mark and Alona Segal have two young children; they have separated but are still next-door neighbours, and a shock forces them to rethink what they believed about each other and about being parents. Nearby, Eli and Dafna Nahmias, childless after seven years of trying, prepare for one last round of IVF. And Mark's teenage daughter Roni, sixteen, is growing up painfully.
