After discovering a photograph hidden in her late mother's cabinet, a young woman travels to Europe in the hopes of uncovering her origins—and the reason she was left behind.

Tel Aviv, 1970. Mati Netaim's life is turned upside down when she loses her parents in a terrible car crash. Reeling from the loss, she arrives at their home in the moshav, prepared to pack up a life full of happy memories. But when she looks inside her mother's drawer, she finds more than happy memories—she finds something that will change her life forever.

Inside an innocent-looking envelope, yellowed with age, Mati finds a photograph of a man she does not recognize, holding a baby girl who has Mati's own blue eyes. But when she turns the photograph over, it's the inscription that breaks her heart.

"I entrust into your care my most precious, my baby girl.

I've seen how you cared for her when I couldn't, and I'm confident she will lead a good life with you, a life I cannot promise her.

Look after her and, most importantly,

Do not tell her anything."

With nothing but an unfamiliar last name to go on, the photograph sends Mati on a search for the missing pieces of her birth. Across Paris and Germany, Mati's journey shakes the foundations of her past and her future when she is confronted by the one secret she was never meant to find out.
