Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinger moved from South Africa to Israel almost ten years ago and have lived in the same apartment building ever since. When Mr. Goldfinger's dementia and mobility begin to worsen, Mrs. Goldfinger decides to apply for a caregiver through an Israeli program. The program sponsors caregivers from Southeast Asia, allowing them to immigrate to Israel. The caregiver, Joe, arrives and exceeds their expectations. Joe fixes things around the house, prepares delicious food, and brightens Mr. Goldfinger's mood. The other residents of the apartment begin to take a liking to Joe. A singer, known as "the soprano", especially likes Joe's affinity for music. A widower living on the top floor loves Joe's vegetarian cooking. Tamar, a teenage girl, and her Italian grandmother are especially close to Joe. Tamar accompanies him on his walks with Mr. Goldfinger. The Moroccan family downstairs loves to hear Joe's music. One day, the soprano returns from a recital and stops in to see Joe and the Goldfingers, but right outside her door, she is attacked and murdered. The soprano, to everyone's surprise, leaves everything she owned, including the apartment, to Joe. When Israeli visa regulations change, Joe's family moves to Israel to be with him. Joe's newly immigrated family and the rest of the apartment's residents begin to live as one communal family.
