Yamna's story is told through the people who come to her for help as we are offered a peek into some of her ceremonies. Yehudit, 40, hopes that Yamna can help her become pregnant after conventional fertilization treatments have failed. Dudu, Yamna's grandson, asks her for help with finding success in the music industry and Yamna's daughter, Shula, has the technical know-how of her mother but is still searching for the special spark she needs to honor her birthright and become a righteous woman.
