On the first floor, Arnon, a tormented retired officer who fought in the First Intifada. Above Arnon lives Hani, known as 'the widow,' whose husband travels the world for his lucrative job while she stays at home with their two children, increasingly isolated and unstable. On the top floor lives a former judge, Devora. Eshkol Nevo vividly depicts how the grinding effects of social and political ills play out in the psyche of his flawed yet compelling characters, in often unexpected and explosive ways.
