Custody

Aaron Berg is the father of three children by three different wives. His eldest, Batsheva, is a thirty-one-year-old high school guidance counselor, who often searches (in vain) for a corrective experience for her childhood. She knows she won’t be able to change anything, but at the very least she might manage to annoy everyone and get some money out of Henya, Aaron’s mother, a brusque and hedonistic widow.

Udi, Aaron’s son by his second wife Fanny, is loved by everyone, and has a radiant and healthy outlook on life.

At the school where Batsheva works, Tamar, Aaron youngest daughter by his third wife Nira, is a student. Tamar has a lot of needs, including braces and a relationship with her estranged siblings.

All the family circles Aaron has managed to scatter around are tied together by a pipeline of money, supervised by Fanny, who manages the family business. Aaron, meanwhile, continues to act like a swinging bachelor, his latest conquest being a single and desperate shampoo girl at a hairdressing salon.

Over thirteen episodes, the Bergs settle their scores, jostling for position within the family, where the only certainty is the unreliability of the patriarch.
