Wedding Doll

Hagit lives with her mother, Sarah, in the small town of Mitzpe Ramon. Sarah, a divorced single mother, works hard as a hotel housekeeper while being overly protective of Hagit due to her mild intellectual disability.

Hagit works at a small toilet paper factory owned by Arie and Pnina. The factory also employs Omri, their son, who is kind to Hagit, although his kindness is partly rooted in pity.

While Sarah tries to introduce Hagit to Elad, who has similar intellectual abilities, Hagit feels frustrated with her mother’s efforts. She desires independence and is determined to follow her own feelings, particularly her affection for Omri.

Hagit's brother, Chen, who is married and has a child, shows little interest in helping care for Hagit. He believes that Hagit would be better off in a group home, a sentiment echoed by their father, Moshe.

Hagit develops a fantasy of marrying Omri, leading them to bond at the factory. They share moments of creativity, making a paper bride and groom, and often sit together on a cliff sharing intimate conversations and light kisses.

While dealing with her own challenges, Sarah attempts to build a romantic relationship with Chaim. Unfortunately, she finds it difficult to pursue her own happiness because of her obligations to care for Hagit.

The toilet paper factory encounters severe financial difficulties, prompting Arie to consider closing it. Despite Omri's protests and desire to save the factory, Arie insists on strict measures.

Desperate to find employment, Hagit applies for a job at a bridal salon in Be'ersheba, hoping to step into her dreams. Unfortunately, the owner rejects her, striking a blow to Hagit’s self-esteem.

As tension builds, Omri announces his decision to leave for Canada, leading his friends to throw a farewell party at the factory. Hagit misinterprets the event as a wedding celebration and prepares accordingly.

At the farewell party, Hagit creates a wedding dress from toilet paper rolls, only to endure mockery from Omri’s friends. Heartbroken by Omri's failure to defend her, she flees into the night, feeling utterly desolate.

After Hagit runs away in heartbreak, Sarah rushes to find her daughter. The search is filled with tension as Sarah desperately hopes to bring Hagit back home safely.

In a moment of painful acceptance, Sarah decides that Hagit should be placed in a group home. Although Hagit does not resist, the decision signifies a heartbreaking shift in their relationship.

As they drive to the group home, Hagit holds her beloved paper bride doll out the window. In a symbolic act of letting go, she releases the doll, which represents her shattered dreams of marrying Omri.
