At the beginning of the story, fate brings two young people together. However, the Israeli-German genetic researcher Eitan falls into a coma during a terrorist attack in Jerusalem, while his girlfriend Wahida, Moroccan historian, must uncover Eitan’s family secret which brought them into Israel. Will the relationship survive all the discords and prejudice that have been mounting for more than a century of hatred, war, and terror? This multilayered play not only brings up the topics of remembering our roots, heritage of wars and crimes of the 20th century, but most importantly, it challenges you to think about the purifying power of self-discovery. Family traumas are not inscribed in our chromosomes!
