The young woman has severed all contact with her mother and younger brother due to her decision to live in Berlin in spite of the objections of her mother, the daughter of an eminent judge and Holocaust survivor. She is forced to face her destiny when her mother, a pedantic yekke who raised her \u201cwithout love\u201d, comes to Berlin to execute her father\u2019s (the young woman\u2019s grandfather) will and scatter his ashes at the memorial site of the concentration camp were he was imprisoned during the war. <\/p>\n<p>The encounter between mother and daughter throws them into turmoil, and reopens wounds from the past. When the director of the memorial site steadfastly refuses to allow the mother to scatter her father\u2019s ashes, the daughter and her brother come together to execute their grandfather\u2019s will, and thus remove a heavy shadow from their lives. The director, who tries to help them without breaking any of the strict bureaucratic regulations, reveals a surprising secret from the grandfather\u2019s past, a secret that changes their lives, brings them closer to one another, and enables them to crack the wall of glass in their family relationships.<br \/>Oren Jakobi was nominated for Playwright of the Year at the 2012 Israeli Theatre Awards for Wall of Glass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"direction: ltr\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English translation: Hadar Galron A successful young Israeli dancer who lives in Berlin suffers a crisis of identity and career when she discovers she is pregnant.
