After two decades in Israel, American born and bred Victoria still struggles to make peace with her relocation to Israel. She constructs a purposefully insular life in a coastal community analogous to the one she’d expected to live back in the United States, replete with conventional activities associated with American suburbia and expat friends that share the same acerbic, oftentimes critical, attitude toward their surroundings. Cracks in this bubble-like existence begin to emerge with her elder child’s induction into the Israeli Defense Forces, and a succession of unexpected events ultimately collapse the fragile equilibrium she’s managed to attain, crushing any remaining pretense of ambivalence toward her adopted country and forcing her to reassess her allegiances.
