synopsis
Chico (played by the Israeli movie star Yehuda Barkan) is divorced, and has custody of his son, Ben (Ben Zion). He is a cheerful sort who has earned his living as a sailor. In this romantic melodrama (a sequel to the 1988 Abba Ganuv) he has moved to Tel Aviv in order to be closer to his lawyer lady-love, Galia (Alona Kimchi). Things take a darker turn when his ex-wife institutes proceedings to take custody of his beloved boy from him, and for a while Chico suspects that Galia is seeing somebody else.
