Read Full Synopsis »
Director Yishai Orian is married to Eliraz, but is also in love with his old Volkswagon Beetle. Eliraz is about to give birth to their first child, and the soon-to-be-mother is anxious to get rid of the old wreck, which she feels is absolutely unsafe for a baby. As the argument heats up whether to junk or invest in rehabilitating the Beetle, Yishai's reluctance to let go of the past leads him on an exciting, funny and touching road trip that begins with the intimate memories of previous owners of the yellow Beetle, continues in Jordan with attempts to renovate the old car and ends with the birth of Yishai's son. The emotional and enlightening encounters blend with Yishai's personal journey toward fatherhood and his attempt to save his two loves.
