Haim-Aaron is an ultra-Orthodox religious scholar from Jerusalem whose talent and devotion are envied by all. One evening, following a self-imposed fast, he collapses and loses consciousness. The paramedics announce his death, but his father, refusing to let him go, takes over resuscitation efforts and brings Haim-Aaron back to life. After the accident, Haim-Aaron becomes apathetic to his studies and begins to feel a strange awakening in his body. When his father notices these changes in his sons behavior, he tries to forgive him, tormented by the fear that he has crossed Gods will when he resuscitated him.
