1970. Esther, a tormented American in her forties, receives a letter after the death of her mother: she must find a woman who lived in the 30s in Palestine and keeps a secret about her life. Esther begins her search in Israel helped by Zayde, a university professor with a particular background.
1930. A village of settlers, the atmosphere of a new world. Moshe, widower with two children, hires a woman to help him. The arrival of Yehudit changes the life of Moshe and two other men: Yaakov, a romantic farmer, and Globerman, a cattle dealer. An exciting and tragic love story begins. By tying together the threads that bind past and present, Esther and Zayde will discover a shocking truth.
