On the eve of Israel's birth, a tale of passion and heartbreak unfolds. Luna, known to all as the "Beauty Queen of Jerusalem," is the cherished daughter of a proud Sephardic family whose roots run deep in the holy city. When David Ashkenazi returns from war-torn Europe, having served with the Jewish Brigade, Luna's Heart is swept away. Defying her mother and grandmother, she follows her Heart into marriage, only to discover that life isn't the bed of roses she imagined and that love can show a thousand unexpected faces. 

A gripping, enchanting stage adaptation of Israel's best-selling sensation in recent years, which has also been adapted into a successful television series.
