Yair, a Yemeni father and teacher in the community, is struggling to achieve a balance between his duties as a father and his duties as a torchbearer teacher. The film was shot in locations in Jerusalem in Hadasa En Karem where people actually lived through generational gaps that are shown in the film. Will Yair overcome his own tough upbringing and will be able to connect to his son, even though he is not ready or even qualified to become a traditional teacher. The ending scene is show in a totally different location, just near a small lake, and we have used light differences as well to reflects that sign of hope for Yair to actually connect with his son.
