About film
Naama is 31 years old. She lives in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and dreams of starting a family, but after a series of unsuccessful dates, she starts to question her future. When she decides to undergo egg freezing, Naama faces unexpected resistance from her family, her community, and defenders of traditional notions of modesty. This is a story of personal growth: for the first time, Naama speaks openly with her loved ones about her choice and begins to share her inner world with others.
