On the line between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv move the perpetual wanderers: they move  between the sacred and the secular, abandoning city life, leaving behind their families, longing to a human connection.

This is, in a way, the story of the Director of this film. Alon Sharvit's family, except for him, became religious twenty years ago and now Sharvit explores the process of becoming religious or secular, focusing on the bond between the ultra-orthodox and the secular members of the family.

A son, who became secular, left his ultra-orthodox family in Jerusalem to the agnostic Tel-Aviv. Years later, destiny reunites them at the most dramatic moment of their life.

A father, who became religious, left his bohemian life in Tel Aviv for the world of the Torah in Jerusalem, leaving behind a little girl and a great love he prayed not to lose. Eighteen years after, they meet for self examination.

The son of a well known Rabbi became secular and established an association for others like him who leave religion to become secular. After seven years of struggle against the ultra-orthodox society, he comes back home – repentent.

Through the life stories of the three protagonists, the journey is described in three parts: first the tearing asunder, then the longing for belonging and finally the returning home. After years of searching and struggling the reconciliation takes place on the screen.

"Sharvit brings to this film other stories about people like him, living in those two worlds. The story of Eli Vaiden is very interesting". (Rutta Kupfer, Ha'aretz)

"Sharvit documents in this series the complex, and sometimes tragic situation of those who move between the two extremities, not here and not there. Jerusalem Right – Tel Aviv Left is a pistachio that makes you wait for more". (Ada Shein, Walla)

"The reconciliation in the Vaiden family took place during the making of the fascinating series, with the kidney drama as the center of the story". (Ya'acov Bar-On, Makor Rishon)
