Aviva a 39 year old cook in a hotel in Tiberias, has a lifelong dream that is finally about to be fulfilled. All her life she has kept her great talent for writing a secret until one day, with the help of her supportive sister Anita, it is brought to the attention of Oded, a well known writer, who takes her under his wing, promising to turn her into an accomplished author.

The long journey of making her dream come true changes her life and that of those she loves: her unemployed husband, her unhappy children, her unstable mother and especially her sister, an extremely amusing woman with dreams of her own.
