Yoni Roshko (Yoav Rotman) is a boy living in a small seaside moshav. Desperate to grow up, he does his classmates' homework so he can spend their money on a bodybuilding powder, stretches with weights tied to his legs, and screams into the wind to thicken his voice. He struggles to memorize his portion of Literature/TheTorah on time for his upcoming [[UsefulNotes/JewishLifeEvents Bar Mitzvah]]. His small size makes him an easy target for bullies, and his distant, irresponsible parents (Creator/RonitElkabetz and Tzahi Grad) are no help. Then the institution that housed his 17-year-old autistic brother Tomer (Michael Moshonov) is shut down, and Tomer is sent to live with his family until a new place can be found.
