Plot

The film depicts the relationship between Giora (Yiftach Klein) and his daughter, Ariela (Shira Haas). Giora, an officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, is a strict father who punishes his daughter for every boundary crossing. Their relationship even borders on sexual abuse. One day, Ariela causes a car accident due to inexperience, and Giora refuses to punish her. Ariela sets out on a journey to punish herself on as large a scale as possible and, along the way, discovers a concealed event from her father's military past, which serves as the cause of his behavior.
