Chin, Sasha, Dong-Dong, Marisol and Annabelle met at the Adult Language School. Gathered from different parts of the world in one classroom, they are about to start a new life in Israel.

Director David Ofek follows them for over 6 months in and out of the classroom. The result is a document about struggle to belong, the difficulties of the foreigner and the observation of the "other" on Israeli society. David Ofek lets his protagonists lead the plot; their gaze, at times funny, at times sad, paints daily reality with irony. But beyond the obvious differences, the human commoon denominator of longing and love, triumphs time and again.
