After 20 years of being adopted and raised in Israel, a group of young women go back to Brazil to find their biological parents.
There are not enough children for adoption in Israel. During the 80’s hope arose for those seeking to have a child - Brazil.
Approximately 3,000 Israeli families flew to the carnival country to adopt a child. German and Italian families were also part of this adoption wave. In the meantime, the children, now grown-up, are traveling to their land of origin to look for the woman who gave birth to them.
Filmmaker Nili Tal follows four young Israeli women on such a voyage.
This is a moving trip to a third-world country, where women have four or five children from several men and another one somewhere in a far away place. It is also a personal voyage into each of the protagonists’ life bringing up issues concerning us all.

I couldn’t stop crying
Watching the twin Israeli girls meet with their Brazilian birth mother was one of the most moving moments I have ever seen on film. Nili Tal has a great way of getting into the real story of her interviewees, without harassing them.
