Shavua ve Yom plot
In Judaism, Shiva is the week after a relative's funeral where survivors grieve and come to terms with the departure of a loved one. But how can aging parents accept the death of their only son? The mother almost manages to deal with it; she is a teacher who is used to organizing a school, keeping her distance and seeing everything in perspective, very helpful in the situation at hand. Meanwhile, her husband nearly has a nervous breakdown. He behaves in varying ways confrontational and unpredictable and no one is able to communicate with him, not even his wife. But then the neighbor's strange empathetic son strikes the right chord with him with a therapy. The man regains control of his life, so that he learns to deal with countless details.
