The fact that Yoel Kanovich didn’t report for the army reserve training he was summoned to, is by no means his only problem. His marriage to Sigal is on the rocks, his father recently died of a heart attack, and on top of that he’s lost his job as a history teacher. His nerves apparently got the better of him during a lesson on the Balfour Declaration, of all things.

Yoel is in need of a quiet spot from which to reflect on his desires and dreams, and out of this absurd reality a new path may yet present itself.
