In 1993 Israel, 15-year-old Natasha, a Bukharian immigrant, spends her days selling balloons on the beach. Determined to break free from her socio-economic status and patriarchal family, she finds herself drawn to her co-worker Arthur, a 21-year-old Russian immigrant. Natasha sees Arthur as her ticket to a higher status in Israeli society. However, as the night unfolds, Natasha's hopes clash with harsh realities as Arthur takes advantage of her innocence, leaving her feeling confused and ashamed. Her journey sheds light on the complexities of immigration and the pursuit of a better life.
