Seventeen-year-old Uri is obsessed with Holocaust research. He wants to go on a trip with his class to the extermination camps in Poland but needs to overcome his difficulty in integrating. Since his parents divorced, Uri and his mother have shared a room. Uri would like to have his own room, but he also likes having his mother by his side.
