Shiva is set in 1991 in the midst of the first Gulf War when Israel is under daily missile attacks. The Ohayon family is hit with a tragedy of their own when beloved Maurice, one of nine brothers and sisters, suddenly passes away. The family gathers to mourn for seven days where religious law forbids them to leave the house. In this emotional roller coaster, jealousy, financial problems, gossip, and long-term rivalries are brought to the surface as the siblings face their own frustrations and ambitions.
