Nina, a teenage runaway, wakes up in the unfamiliar stairwell of a Tel Aviv apartment in a torn minidress. As her memory starts to resurface - the abusive older man she's running away from, the crime she witnessed - she knows one thing: she needs to find a place to hide. When one of the building's tenants, Carmela, a lonely old widow suffering from memory loss, mistakes Nina for her granddaughter she hasn't seen in years, Nina jumps at the opportunity for a safe haven. Soon, the two strangers become each other's lifeline as Nina settles into the apartment with sweet, reassuring Carmela. Meanwhile, Irina, a Russian immigrant, is living a parent's worst nightmare: her only daughter has gone missing. She knows Nina got involved with the wrong men and will do anything to find her. Across the ocean, Itamar feels that something is happening to his mom, Carmela.
