2019 and Israel has split in two. On one side, Jerusalem has become completely Orthodox, and on the other, Tel Aviv is a secular state. Tensions between the two are suddenly exacerbated when a midwife reveals she switched two babies at birth, seven years before. A series based on a dark and disturbing premise.
Akiva and Shulem Shtisel, father and son, sit on a little balcony overlooking streets of the Geula neighborhood of Jerusalem. A year has passed since the mother died. All the other children have left the nest, and only Shulam and Akiva remain - quarreling, making up, and laughing about themselves and the rest of the world. All will change when Akiva meets Elisheva.
