When ten-year-old Yotam is given a Sony tape recorder by his father, he uses it to capture the insane universe of his mad-cap, disintegrating family. What emerges is a hilarious tour de force - a wickedly sharp portrayal of contemporary Israeli life, which is also the story of a young boy struggling to come to terms with loss, and the weight of history.
The love-hate relationship has an epic ferocity which makes this portrait of a dysfunctional family both funny and heartwarming as it careers forward and back through Yotam's family history and that of modern Israel.
