You're hiding him

at your place.

He's charming.

- He's sweet.

What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be

in therapy.

I can't go there.

It's like a mad house.

Where do you think you are?

You'll have a visit today.

Who?

- Your mother and father.

I don't want them to come!

I don't want to see them!

Don't let them in!

They'll take my baby!

You don't have a baby, Nili.

You remember you don't

have a baby...

You had an abortion, right?

They killed him!

They want to help,

they love you.

They don't love me.

I want them to give me

my baby back.

He needs me, I'm his mother.

He needs me, I'm his mother.

He needs me...

I'm his mother...

Let's go back...

Try to remember.

Your mother is Dina,

your father Yuval. Right?

You lived in Herzliya.

Remember?

Near the sea.

- Near the sea, right.

You went to kindergarten.

What was the teacher's name?

Edna.

- Edna, that's right.

You moved to Tel Aviv.

Yes. Tel Aviv.

You studied at the Pardes School

and went to Yanai High School.

Yanai High School?

What happened in high school?

What happened

in high school, Nili?

I don't know...

I don't know.

I don't know...

I want my baby.

Give me my baby.

Come,

let's go to therapy.

He's getting closer.

You hear?

Who's getting closer?

I hear him.

What do you hear?

- He's calling me.

How does he call you?

How does he call you?

Mommy...

Mommy...

She didn't run.

I saw.

- She wept and took his hand.

Stop this nonsense.

She's great.

She's electrifying.

I told you.

Forty-five...

Nili, where are the pills?

Where are the pills, Nili?

Give me the pills.

Nili, please give me

the pills.

Soon you'll go home

to your family...

Nili...

Nili, do you hear me?

You'll go home to

your family and friends...

Nili...

Keep going.

You remember that you

don't have a baby, right?

You remember that

you had an abortion.

Nili... You remember, right?

You remember that you

don't have a baby.

You remember you had

an abortion. Right?

What should I do?

- Say butterflies.

I can't anymore.

I can't do what they want.

Close the curtain!

- No, no. Don't close it!

I'm sorry...

I can't do what

they're asking me to do.

Close the curtain!

- No!

I'm sorry.

I can't do what they want.

No, I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I'm sorry.

Now you can close it.

Ruby, go to the other side.

Actors, get ready to bow.

I'm opening the curtain.

Hagai, go bow.

Run to the stage!

I'm not bowing.

It's not the play I wrote.

Are you crazy?

Run out on the stage!

I told you at the first

reading.

Terrific, huh?

Come Maya,

they want you on TV.

I don't want to.

- You have to come.

Leave her alone.

We'll do it tomorrow.

You have to go on TV.

Are you

disappointed with me?

Are you mad at me?

You were wonderful!

Meet Hagai.

Well done!

Where are you?

I'm a little confused.

I can't figure out how much

was intentional

and how much wasn't.

You did it on purpose.

- No, I didn't.

You decided to change

the play in cold blood.

Let me explain.

There's nothing to explain.

You knew what this play

meant to me.

Let me explain!

You stepped on me

because I love you.

Let me explain!

That's it, Maya.

It's over.

What's over?

It's over.

His wife went back to him?

Call Shlomo, tell him

to come, before it's too late.

He's already on his way.

You were great.

Great...

Where's Hagai?

I want to tell him

It's the most beautiful

play I ever saw.

He's not here.

Where is he?

What happened?

Maya!

Why are you standing over there?

You haven't eaten all day,

give some to that nice guy.

Please have some.

It's delicious.

Gabi Modan,

heart surgeon.

Nice to meet you.

Here's the doctor...

Doctor Biran...

- How you doing?

My mother...

- Nice to meet you.

My father...

- Nice to meet you.

My grandfather...

- The doctor.

Thank you.

I'm Dr. Biran.

Thank you for everything.

Really, thanks.

Thank you.

I feel like I haven't

thanked you enough.

Hagai called me.

- What did he say?

I understand that you...

- Yes.

He feels I betrayed him.

I didn't.

You knew what you were doing.

I knew, but...

- What?

There was something

stronger than me.

As if Nili took control

of me...

I felt like drowning.

- And...

I stopped.

It scares me now.

Maybe I'm going insane.

Quite the opposite.

Your instincts didn't let

you go insane.

But if it happens again...

I'm afraid I'll be like them.

There's a difference between

you and them.

What difference?

You have a curtain

at the end

that brings you back to life.

They don't.

I remember the butterflies

that lost the light...

the red ladybugs that lost

the black spots.

And the bees

whose wings were stolen...

I remember...

Don't worry.

Tonight I'll do everything

as it's written.

I want you to do

what you did yesterday.

I don't know what I did.

I can't repeat it.

You're an actress.

You can.
