When Nurit discovers that her husband is cheating on her, she invites the lover’s husband and demands that he join her in a battle for their lost honor. However, instead of the cheating couple, Nurit’s teenage daughter and a confused young man arrive at the meeting place for their first night of love.

Nurit’s revenge is delayed when she is forced to answer the probing questions her daughter puts to her. Nurit is torn between the need to set an example for her daughter and her desire to take revenge on her husband, which has yet to be fulfilled. When the cheating husband finally arrives with his lover, the meeting spirals out of control and turns into a mad comedy of errors, in which lies are exposed and mutual accusations are hurled.

Will the three couples manage to untangle the knots and rediscover the romance that has disappeared from their lives? And if so, at what price?

The play was presented as a staged reading במסגרת the “Opening the Stage” Festival 2024.
