There were no warning signs. Springtime in Israel, the day after the Passover Seder, a kibbutz guesthouse, sunny and peaceful. Maya, a couple's therapist who researches the secrets of memory, didn't want to spend the Passover holiday there. She knew that place was like an open wound for her mother, but the pastoral landscape did her good, and she's enjoying herself with her husband and three children, at the beach. When her middle son waves a camera he got as a gift from his grandmother, for finding the Passover Afikomen, and cries out to her, "Mommy, smile ", Maya suddenly feels a stab. She turns her back and walks toward their room. The first hour she was gone, her husband assumes that she went to bring their little one a pacifier, or maybe she got lost. "Mommy will be right back," he promises their three children and his child from a previous marriage, who isn't so worried about Maya's disappearance. By noon, there are whispers in the dining room that one of the guests has gone missing. The kibbutz security officers start to investigate and fears escalate. Was she kidnapped? Was it suicide? Why would she do such a thing? She's a woman who has everything - a husband, three children, and a career helping people. Why does her husband refuse to involve the police? The "happy family's" dark secrets are exposed during the search. Different assumptions about Maya reveal sides of her that others were not aware of. Relationships are put under a microscope, and the term "happy woman" is broken down and rebuilt as Maya drifts back in time, to the Yom Kippur War during which the father she never knew was killed. The man who didn't want her. The man who said to her mother, "Everything will be fine, just smile."

The story of Miriam Peretz's life the story of a mother and a homeland; of love for the Land of Israel, the State of Israel, and the Jewish people; and of the victory of spirit and faith. 1st Lieutenant Uriel Peretz, commander of a Golani Brigade Special Forces unit, dreamed of becoming the first Moroccan chief of staff of the IDF. But his mother Miriam sensed that her oldest son would not leave Lebanon safely. On the day he was drafted, she became a woman waiting for news of disaster. In November 1998, Uriel was fatally wounded by an explosive device planted by Hezbollah terrorists. He was 22. Miriam transformed the pain over his death into education and volunteer service. She began to visit schools and military bases, talking about her son's leadership vision. Tragically, in March 2010 Miriam was forced to face another test. Her second son, Major Eliraz Peretz, was killed in an exchange of fire in the Gaza Strip. He died almost twelve years after he had eulogized his older brother: Sometimes we pay a price for doing the right thing. The price of life. Eliraz, who was 32, left behind a wife and four children, including a baby just two months old.Overnight, the mother who lost two sons as well as her husband, whose heart couldn't bear the death of his oldest son became a symbol of grief and of strength. In December 2010, IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi awarded her a medal of appreciation. He said: Miriam's ability to continue to express her deep pain and channel it into a contribution to the education and formation of future generations, serves as an example and model of inspiration for us all.
