Yerusalem, a 30 year old well-educated and beautiful woman, who was the wife of the Eritrean Ambassador to Paris, arrives in Israel as a refugee after her husband was murdered by zealous nationalists. Yerusalem, who until then had led a comfortable bourgeois life, is forced to live in a rundown neighborhood in south Tel Aviv. She does not expect to stay there long, confident that her ties to the Eritrean Ambassador in Israel will assist her to return to her former standard of life. Meanwhile she walks among the refugees like a queen with her Louis Vuitton handbag, holding out for a job offer suitable for her level of education and status. Israeli reality will teach her a thing or two about herself and about human nature. 

Screening will be followed by a discussion attended by human rights representatives in Israel.
