After trying in vain for 10 years, Merav finally gets pregnant. But the pregnancy brings unexpected news. Merav is not carrying the child she so longs for, but experiences a false pregnancy. But because it feels just like a real one, she finds it difficult to admit this to herself and terminate it. Merav needs the support of her family to carry the pregnancy to term. But they refuse to accept the pregnancy at all and try everything they can to persuade Merav to abort.

What is life really about? Isn’t it about fulfilling your heart’s desires? But what if you are constantly denied your wish? How do people manage to stay sane without drifting into obsession?
