Alex, a young Parisian drug dealer, longs to make a new beginning by opening a restaurant in Tel Aviv with his cousin and make "aliyah", the immigration of Diaspora Jews to Israel, but he must face conflicts that include leaving the city he loves, drug dealing, his complicated love life with a new woman, and a troubled older brother whom he is always financially rescuing.
