Synopsis

Maya, a single mother, 31, has two girls and one dead baby. While she’s waiting for the social housing flat, she’s living at her sister’s, Dominique, and her husband Moti. Trying to juggle between her work as an assistant care worker in an elderly people home, confronting the Israeli welfare bureaucracy, and raising her daughters, she has no time left to breath. If she could just hang on for a little longer. If she would just be able to tolerate the daily survival struggle, the harassments, the disgraceful poverty, the constant feeling of shame and guilt, the unstable life she has to endure. When Maya meets Ameen, the handyman that renovates the neglected public housing flat that might be hers, she can suddenly share her dream for a place of her own. But her dreams can’t be farther away than reality. Maya needs at least 3 living children to be entitled a social house, and the house has been already promised to another family without her knowledge. Even though Maya is not willing to back down or give up, she and her daughters deserve a safe place they can live in.
