Die alleinerziehende Nira, Cutterin beim Fernsehen, trifft die charismatische Lily, eine linke Aktivistin, die Palästinensern bei der Olivenernte hilft. So stark wirkt die Begegnung auf Nira, dass sie beginnt, in ihrer Vergangenheit zu gra- ben, Erinnerungen heraufzubeschwören und die Kluft zwischen der Person von einst und dem Menschen, zu dem sie inzwischen geworden ist, zu über- brücken. So viel wie möglich über den Vergewaltiger zu erfahren, wird für Nira nun zu einer Obsession. Sie entdeckt, dass die Presse den Mann, obwohl er die Frauen brutal misshandelte, den „höflichen Vergewaltiger“ nannte, weil er seine Opfer dazu zwang, Stunden mit ihm zu verbringen, während derer er sie abwechselnd vergewaltigte und sich mit ihnen unterhielt. Lily, die gerade eine ernste Ehekrise durchmacht, versucht das Trauma der Vergewaltigung zu verdrängen, und doch durchdringt es jeden Teil ihres Lebens.

Didn’t all the grandparents become immigrants because they, too, fled unbearable circumstances? And didn’t all of them come to Israel, now home to the filmmaker and her family? It is October 2000, the first two weeks of the second Intifada. New anxiety is mixed with fragments from family life experience as the filmmaker unravels her moral dilemmas and questions of survival. In a stream of images, public and private archives, home videos and great historical events unleash new meanings. This personal journey into the past leads the filmmaker to search for premonitions to guarantee hints of hope and safety for her children’s uncertain future in Israel.
