Round Three

Ofira is a newly retired art teacher, who, for the first time in her life, will put herself outside her comfortable routine. She decides to revive an old dream - becoming a painter. Ofira turns to Hizki, her old friend from art school, who’s a curator at a successful gallery. Uncertain, and with little to no support from her husband, Ofira stands in front of the white canvas, not only to paint her first painting in 40 years, but also the rest of her life.
