Depressed Johan turns 30 and wants to die. Instead, he is chosen out of his German university classmates to go to Israel on a student exchange program. Ruth, an Israeli music student, finds a single strand of hair inside Franz Kafka‘s book, The Metamorphosis, in the university library. An unexpected coincidence makes her match the hair to Johan‘s and the two fall in love.
