After 30 years of failed efforts, Tahel (Rachel at birth) finally persuades her sister Tzipora to leave Abarbanel Psychiatric Hospital and move in with her. Together, the two sisters challenge and dismantle the language, both verbal and cinematic, until once again it becomes a tool they can use to speak the silence, the oblivion, the dissociation: the black abyss of trauma, what it is they cannot remember, and are therefore unable to forget. An encounter that takes its participants back to the starting point, to uncharted and therefore terrifying territories of the psyche.
