A touching drama based on the book by Nava Mekmel-Atid

A week before her birthday, Adi is invited to a mysterious meeting with Grandmother Rosa.
At that meeting, a fascinating and exciting family story is revealed to Adi and it is connected with the necklace that she receives from her grandmother for her birthday.  Grandmother Rosa received that necklace from her grandmother when she was a little girl who grew up in Poland as part of a rich Jewish family.
When the Second World War erupted and Rosa, who by then was a young pianist, had to hide in a convent, she concealed that necklace inside the family's piano.  During that war, Rosa lived at the monastery, without knowing the whereabouts of her parents and without the ability to utter a word. Only after the war, Rosa discovered that her parents did survive and together with them, she comes to live in Israel. Few years later, Rosa went to play in Germany as a member of the Philharmonic Orchestra and there, by chance, she discovers the piano and in it, she finds the necklace she had concealed in it on the event of that war. This is the necklace she gives to her granddaughter - Adi.
