Three stories of journeys with moments of optimism and falls, fear and elation. The film consists of video clips taken by parents during the process. The footage reveals rare and intimate moments, including a peek into the children’s homes in Russia, their first meeting with the child, , arrival to Israel, the meeting with the extended family, and life itself.
