Opposite Moshav Netaim, on the beloved hill where the moshav's children used to play, a new transit camp is established. The moshav's children struggle to accept the new immigrants, so different from them, and the encounter stirs suspicion, fear and misunderstanding. Within this reality, despite gaps in language and culture, a special friendship forms between Yiftach, a boy from the moshav, and Suzy, who lives in the nearby transit camp. He teaches her Hebrew, and she tells him about the country she came from. Day after day they meet, talk, look out at the sea, and discover a shared world — until a shocking event in the moshav shakes their friendship and puts it to the test. A moving, captivating play about a wonderful friendship that bridges prejudice and cultural gaps, about the ability to see past difference, about belonging, hope and dreams — one that introduces young audiences to a chapter of the country's heritage and history, and to the concepts, voices and values of the era.
