En Berlín, Oren, un ingeniero constructor israelí que trabaja periódicamente en un gran proyecto, se encapricha del pastelero Thomas. El romance ni siquiera parece haber empezado propiamente cuando Thomas descubre que Oren ha muerto en un accidente de coche en Jerusalen. Thomas viaja allí sin saber exactamente qué es lo que está buscando. Sí halla, con todo, el café del que es propietaria la mujer de Oren, Anat, quien no tarda en ofrecerle un empleo de lo más básico, consistente en limpiar y fregar cacharros.
