The film takes us into the life of Russian immigrants who arrive in Israel during the Gulf War. As scud missiles fly overhead and an entire country locks itself into airtight rooms, Yana and her friends wrestle with the problems immigrants all over the world must face: language, culture, money, jobs and love. Yana is young, beautiful and pregnant, and has been abandoned by her husband who has returned to Russia. She is left to fend for herself in the flat she shares with Eli, an Israeli photographer in his early twenties, with a passion for casual sex. Eli is also a professional voyeur, who uses his camcorder to capture private moments in other people's lives. Yana's presence in his apartment proves irresistible to Eli, who turns her real life drama into his pet project. When the threat of poison gas missiles forces both of them into the same sealed bedroom, their stories merge, sparks fly and love blossoms…
