In a Jewish orthodox village in Israel, a twelve-year-old girl prepares for her Bat-Mitzva (Confirmation), which will take place on Passover. She becomes convinced that she is impure, and grows increasingly scared and depressed. She forces herself into an endless ritual of cleaning, while attempting to silence the unfettered whispering of inner voices which detail every inch of her sinful guilt, over and over again.
