Morad, a teenager from an Arab village in the north of Israel, disconnects himself from humans after experiencing a violent attack. As a last resort before hospitalization in a mental institution, he is taken by his devoted father to be treated with the dolphins in Eilat. Morad starts speaking after months of silence, but he erases his past and refuses to go home to his awaiting mother. Filmed over four years, this documentary traces the devastating havoc that human violence can wreak upon the human soul and the healing powers of nature and of love.
