While escaping from Nazis during the WWII, a Jewish man dug suitcases full of things dear to his heart in the ground two. The war deprived him of his family, and afterwards he endlessly turns over the soil of Antwerp to find the suitcases, which makes him look obsessed. He keeps checking old maps and keeps digging, trying to find, in fact, those he lost. His daughter Chaya is a beautiful modern girl looking for a part-time job. She finds a place as a nanny in the strictly observant Chassidic family with many children, although her secular manners clearly fly in the face of many commandments. One of the reasons she is accepted is that mother of the family is absolutely overburdened by the household, so she stays despite the resistance of the father, normally - an indisputable authority in the family. She develops a special bond with the youngest of the boys, four-year old Simcha, so far incapable of speaking.

New comedy film inspired by the Israeli classic "Halfon Hill Doesn't Answer", released to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Somewhere in the Great Rift Valley stands a small, forgotten, and seemingly useless military base. When the Chinese government offers the state of Israel an enormous sum of cash to lay the path of their new Silk Road through it, all that seems to be done is to shut this base down. Ran Shem Tov, a "disassembly officer" who was deployed to command due to "military streamlining needs", is recruited for this mission. But the thing Ran and the heads of the IDF don't know is that an old bunker was built beneath the base, for which no one remembers the cause of construction. Lately, strange things have been happening in it, which delay the base's shutdown. These events bring all soldiers together against internal and external forces.
