What is to Come
For the first time in forty years, Yehudit (Ronit Yudkevitch) is left alone. Now, she must confront her fears, lingering guilt, and growing debt. Yehudit flees to Eilat, hoping to start a new life. In the unfamiliar city, Eli (Yaakov Zada Daniel), a motel manager, recognizes her distress and agrees to employ her as a chambermaid. Gradually, Yehudit begins to build a new life for herself. Despite the difficulties, she allows herself, with inspiring courage, to fulfill forgotten dreams.
