The Beetle

Israeli director Yishai Orian, the owner of an old Volkswagen Beetle, is about to become a father. His mechanic says the car will not last long, and his wife complains it is unsuitable for a baby. Determined to keep his beloved VW, Orian embarks on a journey, which begins with the Beetle's previous owners, continues to a repair shop in Jordan, and finally ends with the birth of his first child.
