Ya'ara prepares an outdoor picnic for her father Leon's birthday. But there is a wind that mixes up the whole beautifully arranged ensemble. With this gust of wind, Leon's friend Arie has returned to Jerusalem after 30 years. This surprises Ya'ara and she rushes to her parents full of concern. Previously her life was OK; she was happily married to Joni and had good prospects for early employment at the university. But already the first encounter with Arie throws her off track. In the following meetings, a real affair develops out of the initially erotically-charged situations.
