The great Israeli actress Lea Koenig is presented here as she tells the story of the two great loves of her life - the theater and her husband, director and actor, Zvi Shtopler. He encouraged her, wrote for her and directed her as she became the grand dame of the Israeli theater. But her dedication to acting led to difficult life choices; including the decision not to have children. Using the play "Three Tall Women" as a running motif, the film shows the blurred borders between reality and the stage as Lea tragically plays a woman caring for her sick husband in the theater and in real life.
