Aaron, a respectable butcher in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, is married to Rivka and is a dedicated father of four children. One day he meets Ezri, a twenty-two-year-old handsome student, and soon falls in love with him. He begins to neglect his family and community life, swept away by his love and lust for Ezri. Guilt, torment and pressure from the community force him to make a difficult decision about his lifestyle.
