Plot Synopsis
Sixty years ago, triplets Rose, Flora and Yasmin were born into a wealthy Egyptian-Jewish family and blessed in person by King Farouk.Today, in Israel, they live together in an apartment without men and without children: Rose, once a popular singer, dreams of a comeback; Flora has just retired from her work as a midwife and Jasmine is in urgent need of a kidney transplant. But their lives are clouded by secrets and lies from the past. They need to clear their consciences and reach out to Rucha, Rose’s only daughter. During this period their lives and that of Rucha’s change dramatically as hidden ghosts slowly appear, forcing the three sisters to confront their secrets and lies, and seek forgiveness.“Fractured images and memories were woven together with fictional materials to create a story that recounts a winding, emotionally charged relationship between three sisters who stuck together and sacrificed their husbands and children for their love for each other, because they had no other way.” Dina Zvi-Riklis
