Tzuri is a ruthless theater arts tutor who is very strict with his students. When one of his young female students is found beaten up, not so far from his apartment, he is suspended from his job despite having nothing to do with it. Shocked and looking to care for the safety of the student, he winds up in a hostel for runaway teens. Tzuri tries to teach the power of the arts to the distressed teens, as a way to help them communicate and process their personal struggles - while also finding some love and tenderness within himself.
