Saint Clara

The entire Golda School class is confirmed to have scored 100% on the exam, prompting Headmaster Tissona and math teacher Munitz to label it an act of rebellion. They press for a confession from a ringleader, while Eddie Tikel and Rozy swallow pills to avoid interrogation. The mood in the classroom shifts from celebration to suspicion as authorities prepare to question the students.

Elinor Galash, a math prodigy, is singled out as the one who helped solve the questions. Munitz refuses to punish her, offering sympathy instead, which unsettles the other students. The interrogations that follow intensify paranoia about who orchestrated the act.

One by one, students are called up and questioned about the act of rebellion. Tikel and Rozy decide to take pills to avoid talking, hoping to escape scrutiny. The interrogation grows tense as the teachers press for a confession and rumors swirl around the classroom.

Galit Biron traces the numbers to Clara Chanov, who immediately admits she provided the numbers and hints she anticipated which numbers would appear. Clara’s clairvoyant abilities are acknowledged by the teachers, turning her into the focal point of the investigation. Clara's powers become a catalyst for the ensuing events.

That next morning, Tikel and Rozy try to burn Galit Biron alive in retaliation for informing on Clara. Galit counters that the day’s schedule has been switched to another math test, not the sports period they expected, and she confirms Clara’s forewarning. The encounter escalates the sense that Clara’s abilities are shaping the plot.

In the new quiz, Elinor Galash draws the five numbers Clara predicted: 99, 404, 111, 890, and 1000. Tissona grows more suspicious that Tikel and Rozy are taking pills to avoid interrogation. Clara’s alleged powers are now the focal point of the school’s drama.

After school, Rozy, Liby, and Tikel discuss Clara’s power and decide that they must do something truly heavy to change the country’s history. They debate how to stage a dramatic act that will leave a mark, signaling a shift in their school’s power dynamics. The sense of impending, dangerous action hangs over the trio.

That morning, a darkened sky and a sudden window break hint at Clara’s unseen intervention (the stork, implied to be hers, breaking the classroom window). Munitz’s plan to discredit Clara falters in the face of this mysterious display. In a parallel moment, Tissona reveals a personal memory of Edith Piaf, adding adult shadows to the students’ world.

Over the evening, Clara’s influence over numbers sways the town when Tikel’s father writes down lottery numbers and wins, spreading them through the community. Igor Chanov distributes the numbers to everyone in Kiryat Gat, triggering chaos as the lottery results spark mass protests and suicides. The town reels from the social and personal fallout of the event.

A reporter for RTL’s Catastrophes in Israel covers the mounting chaos, while a confrontation unfolds as Tikel’s father curses the reporter and quits his job on live TV. The town grapples with the consequences of the lottery fiasco and Clara’s growing legend. Public discourse centers on the strange powers at play and the youths at the heart of the storm.

Resentment boils between Rozy, Liby, and Tikel as Rozy mocks him for his ties to Tissona and for being accused of a double agent. The confrontation escalates when Rozy punches Tikel and uses a baseball bat, driving a wedge between the friends. Clara’s rising fame and influence continue to polarize loyalties around the classroom and the town.

On their way to a movie, Clara and Tikel share a tentative kiss as the town braces for a mild earthquake. The quake hits, adding a final edge to their developing romance as the students face an uncertain night. The film ends with a freeze-frame of Clara and Tikel in the movie theatre.
