World War II. Tsili, a young Jewish woman, is hiding in the forest South of Czernowicz. Her entire family was deported to the camps. Hiding in the war zone, she builds a nest for herself.

Inspired by the novel by Aharon Appelfeld, the film tells the story of the wandering of its heroin submerged in the nightmare of the war.
