Excellent movie, but I'm confused...[spoilers]

Can anyone help?

1. Their mother: Why isn't Gaby in her care? Why is she in Cheli's care? What was the discussion about money and the NIS 900? Who's Yaakov? I missed dialog...

2. Why doesn't Cheli want Gaby to masturbate?

3. Why does Cheli assume that Zohar got Gaby pregnant? And not even give him a chance to defend himself?

Also, where is the ball pit?

Why does Cheli assume that Zohar got Gaby pregnant? And not even give him a chance to defend himself?

I'm afraid this one is down to the script just not being very good, i.e. not very logical/intelligent at times. I feel this covers also the 2nd question, but am not sure. The movie uses ambiguity as a tool. And when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.

Good point, Haggar. Thanks.
