Inspired by a true story, Rose, Flora and Yasmin Hakim are triplets born in 1942 in Alexandria, Egypt, under the monarchy of Egypt’s last king, Farouk. The film takes us through political turmoil which forces the family, like many Sephardim of the Middle East, to leave and eventually settle in Israel. Today, in Israel, they live together in an apartment without men and without children, but with family secrets they have kept…until now.
