About this title

Synopsis

A BOMB EXPLODES! A HEART ERUPTS! In a crowded Jerusalem market, Leah Applebaum’s son-in-law is killed by a terrorist bomb. In Borough Park, an Orthodox Jewish section of Brooklyn, her mother dies and Leah is brought face to face with the heritage she has scorned and the daughter from whom she is estranged.

When attempts to reconcile with her daughter fail, Leah seeks refuge in her career as a corporate art buyer. Arriving in Israel, she encounters Maya, an Arab-Israeli woman, and is forced to hide a devastating secret that could bind them together. Despite their cultural contrasts, the two women embark on a surprising spiritual journey—a journey of healing and reconciliation.
