In the famously fertile nation of Israel, three childfree women face a daunting task: explaining their life choices to their mothers. In a unique twist, they swap seats, each meeting their friend’s mother for an intimate dialogue. Through these honest, cross-generational exchanges, daughters and mothers bridge the gap, finally hearing each other and paving the way for mutual acceptance.
