About the Movie's Story
Nancy's Unexpected Journey
The film follows Nancy Callaghan, a woman from New York City. She feels very upset after something goes wrong with her husband. She decides to take an impulsive trip to Paris to get away from everything.
Lost in a New Land
On the plane, Nancy accidentally oversleeps and misses her connecting flight to Paris. She wakes up to find herself in Tel Aviv, a big city in Israel. She has no money, no luggage, and no friends there. It's a completely new and surprising place for her!
Adventures in Israel
Nancy soon meets a friendly cab driver and part-time soldier named David. He helps her navigate this unfamiliar country. She ends up stranded on a kibbutz, which is a special type of community farm, located near the Golan Heights. Here, Nancy has to learn how to deal with many unexpected situations and a way of life that is very different from what she knows.
