Eva, a beautiful seamstress, arrives with her daughter in a Israeli working-class neighborhood in 1954. Shalom Gottlieb, a former partisan leader and current factory foreman, falls for Eva, who offers him a chance at happiness and a life filled with beauty and laughter. But rumors of Eva's past as a Kapo during the Holocaust shake the community. Shalom's choice to be with Eva now means not only betraying his family, but also his fellow partisans and his duty to uncover her secret.
