Shmuel Ash finds employment as a companion to the elderly Gershom Wald. As they spend time together, they engage in passionate debates about Jesus’s humanity and the significance of Judas Iscariot’s betrayal—the very topic of Shmuel’s thesis. However, matters become more intricate when Shmuel develops romantic feelings for Atalia, Wald’s widowed daughter-in-law.
