In a small Israeli town, Nira, a kindergarten teacher, leads a seemingly routine life. Her world changes when she discovers that one of her pupils, Yoav, possesses an extraordinary talent for poetry far beyond his five years. Eager to nurture his gift, Nira becomes increasingly obsessed with Yoav's potential, believing herself to be his artistic guardian. She starts transcribing his verses and even presenting them as her own in a local poetry group. Her fixation on Yoav's talent becomes a consuming passion, pushing the boundaries of her professional and personal ethics.

As Nira delves deeper into her quest to protect and cultivate Yoav's genius, her actions become more intrusive and irrational. She aims to shield him from a society she views as unappreciative of his profound abilities. Nira's dedication begins to blur the lines between mentorship and obsession, affecting her relationships and judgment. Her methods grow increasingly extreme, leading to tension and conflict with Yoav's family and the school administration. Through a series of escalating events, Nira's overreaching ambition confronts harsh realities, testing the limits of her influence and the consequences of her actions.
