Studio Synopsis: Batya (Sarah Adler), a catering waitress, takes in a child (Nikol Leidman) apparently abandoned at a local beach. Batya is one of the servers at the wedding reception of Keren (Noa Knoller), a bride who breaks her leg escaping a locked toilet stall, ruining her chance at a dream Caribbean honeymoon. And attending the event with an employer is Joy (Ma-nenita De Latorre), a non Hebrew-speaking domestic worker who has guiltily left her son behind in her native Philippines. As this distaff trio separately wends their way through IsraelÕs most cosmopolitan city, they struggle with issues of communication, affection and destinyÑbut at times find uneasy refuge in its tranquil seas.
