Hanna Mendelssohn, an 80 year old widow, is a proud member of a kibbutz she helped found. She believes strongly in the values of social equality and cooperation on which the kibbutz was created. Her world disintegrates as the privatization of the Kibbutz forces her into retirement, and after years of devotion and hard work, she finds herself useless. In addition, she has to watch the kibbutz turn into a community in which everyone is concerned for his or her own well-being. When all her hopes are dashed, she realizes that friendship still exists in the kibbutz and though things will never be the same, something new can flourish.
