 Mickey is a 12 year old tomboy, whose parents are going under divorce. She spends every summer vacation with her grandparents, Ya akov and Elza. Ya akov is an old-fashioned farmer who runs a hen hatchery. He is under pressure from the neighbors (led by Aharale) to sell his land so a mall would be built on the mutual estate. Also present is Mickey s aunt, Noga, who is mentally ill. Noga lost her previous boyfriend (in unclear circumstances) and now sets her eyes on Aharale. Everything seems stuck in place somehow. Including the hot air, which doesn t let Mickey s kite take off.
