Asher Yeshuron (Moshe Ivgi), a failed businessman, lacks integrity but is charismatic, is trying to promote the sales of his book, "To Drive Out the Crow." His life changes when he was a guest on a TV show, after being deemed by a cult to be a spiritual leader. Inside the cult, there are betrayals, secrets, and passions. The film unfolds the story of people seen as typical Tel Avivians of the eighties and nineties.
The film was submitted by Israel for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 63rd Academy Awards, but was not selected.[3]
