Hospitalized in a ward, a father (Yossi Yadin) pleads with his son to be allowed to return home at least once for a shower. The elderly man's anxiety in the face of loneliness and death fades and the unresolved conflicts of his family disappear for a few moments of grace as his son bathes him in the shower.
