Clara, a Polish born Jew, living in Tel Aviv of the 1970’s, has her ideas about how people should behave, and runs everybody’s life accordingly: her husband, her sisters, their husbands, their children, her brother who lives in London (probably because it was the only way to get away from her…). Whenever something “improper” does happen, Clara’s way of handling it is simply to shove it under the carpet and ignore it completely, as if it never happened. 3 basic rules, are, of course: 1.
