Yisrael, bisexual and raised in an ultra-Orthodox home, is looking for love, but for the time being cannot seem to find it.

Yisrael was born into a loving American ultra-Orthodox Jewish family from Jerusalem. As he grew up and discovered that he was attracted to both men and women, everything changed. Yisrael’s parents embraced him, yet to this day they can't accept that he’s bisexual. He is now 28 years old and through this film he is trying to figure out what he is really looking for.
