Amidst the circumstances of an absent father and a single mother busy making ends meet and satisfying her boyfriend, the oldest son Meir takes care of his younger brother, Zion and they evidently have an inseparable powerful bond. Meirs is there to handle the situation when Zion confesses that a schoolmate has stolen his soccer sneakers. Yet things unravel when the thief seeks a reprisal, and soon Zion understands he is complicit in a secret only he and Meir share. This pressure and Meir's clashes with their mother's boyfriend leave the fraternal allegiance in disarray.[1]
