Shadowed by a strict, military father who inflicts severe methods of punishment as a form of discipline, seventeen-year-old Ariella (Shira Haas, "Unorthodox", "Shtisel", "Asia") commits a grave error that her father (Yiftach Klein, "7 Days in Entebbe", "Fill the Void") isn't willing to punish her for. Seeking a punishment of her own, Ariella embarks on a dark quest where she will discover a secret to her father's past that will lead them to confront one another.
