Yitzhak runs a turkey farm in Israel, a business his father established after their family emigrated from Iran. As his son Moti approaches thirteen, Yitzhak intends to pass on the farming tradition, but Moti dreams of restoring old cars instead. Caught between her husband's expectations and her son’s aspirations, Moti’s mother, Sarah, attempts to mediate. The arrival of an uncle from America further complicates matters, triggering a clash of wills and challenging the family’s established harmony. Yitzhak must confront his own stubbornness and ultimately accept his son’s different path.
