Rona Ramon is an Israeli symbol. In 2003 she lost her husband, Ilan, a high decorated pilot and the first Israeli astronaut that found his death on the fatal mission of Columbia space shuttle. In 2009 their eldest son, Asaf, graduated with honors IDF flight course and in an ordinary training flight he got a temporary blackout and crashed in to the Israeli desert.

After these unbearable losses, Rona shut herself from the Israeli public. She refused to talk to the press or share her feelings. Instead she devoted her life to heeling and therapy to other bereaved families and post traumatic soldiers.
Her tragic life, the lost and the pain that she had to deal with all alone along with raising her 3 remaining children together with rebuilding her life is one of the most inspiring and courageous action a woman can do.

After months of offcamera conversations she opened up to the director, Ben Shani and tells for the first time her story in the Israeli saga about the Ramon's family.
