Seventy-eight-year-old Ze'ev Landsman gives in to family pressure and moves into a retirement home. After a botched escape attempt, he is forcefully returned to the home by his son and daughter-in-law. Although he is now closely watched, Ze'ev refuses to give up on his escape plans. Ze'ev grudgingly accepts the assistance of fellow resident Arye Freund, and the two form a strong bond of friendship as they plan the ultimate escape.
