Schwartz follows various members, including her own family, over the course of five years, tracing the stages of grieving and disillusionment that follow the kibbutz's economic collapse and disintegration as the community reduces its communal commitment to its members. Three older women from the founding generation become symbols of the kibbutz's lost ideals and abandoned history, as they die off, one by one.
For the director, the narrative is a very personal story and admits early on that “making the movie helped me to decide to stay.”[1]
