"Did you go on a honeymoon?
Honeymoon? In our dream! All our life is honey…"

This is the answer orthodox grandparents give to their atheist granddaughter, the film director, who tries to understand the spiritual strength which helps them survive despite all the difficulties they have had to overcome throughout their life.

As Jewish Holocaust refugees, the lives of Batiya and Reuven Gurevitz have been paved with pain and hardship. Early in their married life they were forced to abandon everything they had because of the Nazi army’s invasion of Bessarabia at the beginning of WW II. They  wandered through the former USSR, facing unbelievable poverty and local anti-Semitism. Now, living in Israel in their senior years they face the problem of leaving the only bit of stability they were able to attain - the modest apartment they own.

Despite all their troubles, they are strengthened by faith and remain devoted to the Jewish Orthodox Law. The grandfather has an optimistic attitude towards life; God ordered that he was to be saved and recover from all the sicknesses that came upon him. He always looks on the 'bright side of life' and appreciates God’s miracles. Despite everything that has happened to him, his confidence in God is strong.

The grandmother, on the other hand, is a little bitter. After losing complete sight in one eye, she is beginning to lose sight in the other; a fate she accepts. She believes strongly that God wanted all of these things to happen exactly as they did, but she doesn't know why. She knows there are miracles in the world, but yet, she admits, none of these miracles happen to her.

The film raises existential questions about religious adherence in view of a deteriorating physical condition. The Holocaust has became the trauma that shaped their points of view towards all aspects of life.  They are very simple hardworking people, determined to exist in their daily routine.

"Honeymoon?! Possibly there was honey on the table…what do I know…It's possible. But Honeymoon? We didn't know of such a thing. It's for the rich people. They don't know what to do with their money.They go on a Honeymoon!"

Their answer to life is rooted in their philosophy, a combination of acceptance of Faith and old Jewish humor. This ironic duality is an integral part of the "Wandering Jew" essence.
