Poet Miri Ben-Simhon was born while her parents were en route from Morocco to Israel, and she died on the road between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in a car accident that was suspected to be a suicide.

The film includes a rare recording from 1988, which was discovered accidentally, in which Ben-Simhon reads a love letter to the poet Meir Wieseltier. The letter, the heart of this film, offers a glimpse at Ben-Simhon's ruptured soul.
