Yehuda Kaminka, a retired teacher, returns to Israel from the U.S.
to divorce his estranged wife who is in a mental asylum, having
tried to kill him a few years earlier. The impending divorce of
their parents throws into turmoil the lives of the couple's three
children and grandson, revealing the complexity of their
relationships. Yehuda's nine days, leading up to Passover, are
remembered by different members of the family: A.B. Yehoshua's
brilliance reveals itself in these different voices, each a minor
masterpiece. A picture slowly emerges of what happened as memories
are revived, hopes expressed and dreams articulated. The narrative
gathers pace as Yehuda's visit draws to an end and he changes his
mind about the divorce agreement.
