The film tells the story of a pair of father and son in a hostile relationship. Both father and son work at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. They are experts in the Talmud and are eccentrics with personalities and eccentricities. Because of the great differences between father and son in the treatment of honor and academic issues, there has been a conflict between the two scholars that has long gone beyond the relationship between father and son. The son is a contemporary scholar who likes to pursue fame and fortune, while his father is a very serious, very old-fashioned classical scholar. Under his father's dignified appearance, he is actually a person who yearns for recognition and recognition. The contradiction between father and son has not been made public or expanded. But when the Israeli National Award was about to be awarded-the highest award for scholars in Israel-the conflict between father and son finally broke out, a distressing and fruitless confrontation.
