 Dina falls in love with Avinoam. She decides to abandon her mother, to leave her workplace, and to relocate to Tel Aviv from Be’er Sheva to live with him. However, underneath a veil that seems like love story, reality slowly reveals itself as a horrific theater play where she must portray the role of the woman – a prostitute. Her freedom is taken from her, her body is enslaved, her soul is trampled upon, and she becomes a part of the drug and prostitution scene in the old central bus station in Tel Aviv.

 

Dina’s story doesn’t give Avinoam rest, and he reevaluates his decisions and actions. He is torn between his emotions, which are tearing apart the walls of detachment that he has built over the years, and a violent, well-oiled, and dangerous, system, that requires human sacrifices – he understands that he must make a choice.
