Having suffered a brain injury at the hands of older children when she was younger, Hagit (Moran Rosenblatt, SNAILS IN THE RAIN) longs to be independent and is in love with the idea of love. Working in a toilet paper factory - the one place she is ever let out of sight of her overprotective mother Shara (Assi Levy, AVIVA, MY LOVE) - Hagit takes home surplus tissue and cardboard rolls and has filled her bedroom with little bride dolls, but she also has a secret love in her boss' handsome son Omri (Roy Assaf, GOD'S NEIGHBORS) who hopes to prevent his parents from selling the business and wants to modernize it. When boss Aryeh (Aryeh Cherner, LEBANON) announces that he will soon have to lay Hagit off, Shara promises to help her find another job where she can be independent, but we soon learn that she has apprehensions about Hagit's ambitions to be a dress designer. Having set aside her own life to take care of her daughter rather than place her in an institution as her ex-husband and son would prefer, Shara also has a secret lover but is in danger of alienating him as she puts off dates with him out of fear of leaving Hagit alone. When Aryeh spies a secret assignation between Omri and Hagit, he is even more determined to sell the business and send his son to Canada to attend college. Even before Hagit can discover that Omri has decided to quit the town for the city, she feels a wedge being driven between her and her love when her mother decides they should move away after Aryeh tells her about her daughter and his son. A devastating yet ultimately optimistic coming-of-age story, the film recalls the recent Hindi film MARGARITA WITH A STRAW not in its provocativeness but in the manner in which well-meaning strangers and overprotective friends and family disregard the heroine's autonomy and yearning for independence, mistaking her delicate emotions as a young woman for those of someone they believe is mentally childlike in spite of her acknowledged abilities.
