This is Israeli filmmaker David Fisher's chronicle of his attempt to solve a personal mystery and bring a troubled family together. He makes use of a light, portable camera, a skillful crew and mainly - his four siblings, to begin an emotionally challenging search for their long lost sister . In a creative documentary style, with revealing moments of grief and humour, Fisher leads his brothers to uncover the dark secrets of the past, going back 50 years, when the state of Israel had just been created and unlawful deeds and wrongdoings were part of its birth pains. Theirs sister's disappearance, two days after birth from the hospital, was kept a family secret for years. Throughout her life their mother felt the baby girl, one of twins, was abducted, but she did not disclose her innermost feelings. Her sons now believe the authorities judged that the 18-year-old immigrant, a Holocaust survivor, couldn't take care of twins and decided to give one up for adoption. The brothers assume she is alive and living in Israel or abroad somewhere and they leave no stone unturned to find her.
