In over thirty years within a male-dominated field, journalist Hadas Shtaif remains undeterred. The film follows her at a pivotal moment – after exposing the “Efi Neve Affair” she is facing a massive lawsuit from one of Israel’s most influential figures, all while unwaveringly aiding women who seek her out nightly for support against sexual abuse.
