Film Synopsis
Esther is an old Jewish woman who requires constant care.
Unfortunately, she is often moody and recalcitrant, and no nurse is
able to put up with her bad temper for long. When the latest of
Esther's suffering carers gives her notice, the old woman's son Elijah
has no idea what to do next. Selima, his mother's day nurse,
comes to the rescue. She recommends Halima, a practicing
Muslim. Against all expectations, Esther takes a liking to Halima
and the two women gain an immediate friendship and mutual
respect. Halima even manages to restore Esther's zest for
living...
