This wryly comic story was nominated for 12 Israeli Ophir Awards, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor. Dov is a widower who begrudgingly resides in a nursing home, but his thin finances prevents him from fulfilling the dream of returning to the house where he raised his family. When he finds out that many of his fellow nursing home residents are users — of medical marijuana — he embarks on a new business venture. But his enterprise attracts the attention of both the police and a local street gang, and Dov must decide whether he is willing to risk everything for what really matters most to him.
