Everything in Yoni's life is complicated. He's almost 13, a gifted student, but physically undeveloped and desperate to change before his Bar Mitzvah. He does pull ups every night with heavy weights tied to his legs and seeks out ways to deepen his voice so that the class bullies will stop calling him Helium.
With his parents on the verge of a breakup, Yoni's autistic older brother Tomer, hidden away for years in an institution, returns home. His sudden arrival not only turns Yoni's life upside down, but also shakes the already unstable foundations of the entire Roshko family.

“Guy Nattiv’s control of the cinematic language is skilled and confident. This is a moving film that avoids sentimentality, a metaphoric film that despite its use of biblical symbolism creates sadness and anxiety, rage and joy, that cross the boundaries of the metaphor to create a touching reality. The film’s selection shows our vote of confidence in the talent and future of the filmmaker.”
