Every year in May, the six Dvash sisters leave their homes, husbands, children, and grandchildren, as well as all of their work and worries, for a luxury vacation in Eilat.  For a brief time they forget about the world around them and even drop their names – calling each other “ikhchi” (Arabic for “my sister”). Behind these magical times together lies a miserable childhood in the shadow of their mother Fortuna, who betrayed her maternal role. Their painful stories of a traumatic childhood are intertwined with the optimism of sisterhood, friendship, sacrifice, strength, survival, intimacy, love and victory.
