Maya Mcmanus Ronen's debut film focuses on exploring life in the kibbutz of Neot Smadar. This kibbutz was reestablished by a group of like-minded individuals who left Jerusalem and decided to build a cooperative and horizontally structured community. Every couple of years, a significant event takes place here — residents swap houses with each other. What's unique is that no one knows in advance which house they will receive. Maya Ronen's film is an attempt to peer into the unconventional life of this community, understand the rules it lives by, and delve into the intricacies of the regular ritual of house swapping.
