Israeli cinema is increasingly recognised internationally for both its quality and its prolific output. The film industry and exports are growing annually due to success abroad, in addition to the increase in foreign productions and co-productions being filmed in the country.
The Israeli Film Centre of the Ministry of Industry and Trade promotes filming in Israel by both local and foreign producers. And events such as the Israeli Film Festival, at cinematheques in Jerusalem, Haifa and Sderot, along with other festivals held abroad, are bringing Israeli cinema to the attention of an ever-widening circle of film fans.

Ya'ara is blind, but she is also 24 years old, attractive, independent, self-confident and intelligent. She has just started her mathematics degree at Princeton University. Suddenly she receives the terrible news that her beloved cousin Talia has died. Talia could see for both of them and believed, proving to her cousin, that despite her blindness Ya'ara could see everything. Accompanying the family in the days of mourning or Shiv'ah, Ya'ara embarks on an investigation to uncover the secrets surrounding her cousin's death.
