Naomi has run her kindergarten in Tel Aviv's old north for twenty-five years, giving other people's children warmth, creativity and a feeling for beauty, though many parents see her as a paid babysitter and her grown son has stayed distant since she left her husband on a kibbutz. Over one school year, after an architect buys the building and orders her out, she fights for her place and her values.
