Louise, a Jewish lawyer, arrives from Paris to finalize an important real estate deal, using Neta (Nelly Tagar), a chance driver, the cunning hero from Mahane Yehuda, who immediately finds the economic opportunity and decides to stick with Louise at any cost.
When the two visit the Old City, they discover a secret connection between an ultra-Orthodox woman and a Christian man who communicate through notes hidden within the grooves of the Wailing Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. In an attempt to solve the mystery, Louise and Neta follow the puzzling couple through the narrow alleyways of the city. A comedy of mistakes in the heart of magical Jerusalem, and a story about friendship between two women at a critical point in their lives.
