Tmuna Kvutzatit Im Isha - The true story of an Israeli Jewish woman who left the country after being forced, by tragic circumstances, to give her only daughter up for adoption, her child from a Muslim-Bedouin man.
Driven by her guilt and low self-esteem, the heroin finds herself abused by all men in her life. Finally, she returns to Israel to search for her lost child and finds herself, together with her director friend, in an unusual cinematic recreation of her life, a voyage that covers three decades, a number of countries and an un-ending escape into oblivion, survival and loss.
Her loves, her escapes, the men in her life, all serve as an echo to that one unfortunate act. Again, in an unusual manner, the heroine finds herself faced, as in a Greek chorus, with a re-examination of her life, and finds that nothing has changed over the years.
The situation reaches its climax when the real character discloses herself to the viewers, towards the film's end, when she replaces the actress portraying her, and describes the epilogue of her tragic life story.
Israel, 2003.

This fiction film portrays the true story of a woman who has made all the possible mistakes in her life only to be able to redeem herself at the end. By an act of re-enacment does Michal Yanany walk through the steps of the heroine until the curtain close and the audience is left with its catharsis.
This film manages to portray in it both strong feminists’ views and zionists’ vies. An Israeli film about an Israeli woman, torn with her life inside and outside of Israel. Dramatic and moving.
Michal Yanay in one of her best roles ever. Her portrayal of the heroine is precise and moving. With the entrance of the real heroine of the story into the film we are left with the amazing feeling of a one of kind role played twice, real and played.
