Cast: Limor Goldstein, Muli Shulman, Hai Maor, Keren Mor Mishori, Adi Tzemach, Shachnai Dali

When Nurit learns of her husband’s infidelity, she decides to take revenge: she challenges his lover to a duel and invites her husband—so they can defend their lost honor together. But instead of the culprits, Nurit’s adolescent daughter and a bewildered young man arrive at the meeting place… to experience their first night of love together.

Revenge is postponed: the mother is forced to answer her daughter’s difficult questions.

Nurit is torn between wanting to be an example for her daughter and the burning thirst for vengeance that her unfaithful husband has failed to quench.

When the adulterer finally arrives onstage—with his lover on his arm—the meeting spins out of control and turns into a mad comedy of errors, where lies are exposed and mutual accusations fly without mercy.

Will the three couples manage to untangle this knot of passions and reclaim their lost romance?

And if so—at what cost?
