    Viviane Amsalem is a hairdresser doing everything she can to maintain her individuality in a household dominated by her conservative husband, Elisha (Simon Abkarian) and his live-in mother. When Viviane's former lover reappears, an already untenable situation implodes. If Edward Albee were Jewish, this is the kind of family he would write about, with its practiced aptitude for mental torture.
