The story of Gur, whose late grandfather appears to him through people he knows and randomly meets. Gur is sent on a mission that takes him from sugar smuggling in WWII to the bed of a lecturer in Eastern European history.

Set in Tel Aviv, and written in the style of a mockumentary, the play is a farcical yet touching story of one man’s journey to fulfil his grandfather’s wishes.
