 Aviva,
a hard-working hotel cook in the small northern Israeli town
of Tiberias, is on the brink of finally fulfilling her lifelong
dream of becoming a published writer. But first she must deal
with her unemployed husband, her nosy sister and an unstable
mother. Her story, as it unfolds with tears and laughter,
is about the power of a single woman to realize her true destiny.
