Hadassah and Arye Cohen are a couple of immigrants from post-war Europe. Arye, a police officer in his position, came to the help of his friends on a stormy night, saving babies from a maternity home whose roof had collapsed. Arye and Hadassah, childless, are asked to look after a baby of Yemeni origin named Nissim, until his family is found. The months pass, but no one comes to claim little Nissim. Hadassah grows increasingly attached to the soft baby and Arye is worried. One day, at the police station, Arye sees an ad looking for Nissim. What will he do now? Will he tell Hadassah? Will they have to say goodbye to the toddler who grew up in their home and became their child?
