Сюжет фильма рассказывает историю убийства премьер-министра Израиля Ицхака Рабина, у которого забрал жизнь молодой парень, представляющий радикальное движение. После этого в стране начались новые неприятности, поскольку расследование резонансного преступления приостановило и без того сложный этап переговоров о мире с палестинцами. Представителям правоохранительных органов стало известно, что Рабин имел множество пугающих тайн, которые были пропитаны истеричной риторикой, паранойей и политическими интригами. Собственно говоря таких секретов хватает у множества людей, связанных с миром политики, но что именно скрывал Рабин?...

The film intertwines historical events and intimate memories. I observe how architecture represents the transformations of society and those who give form to this architecture. We follow the journey of Munio, my father, born in 1909 in Silesia, Poland, the son of a tenant farmer of a Prussian junker. At the age of 18, Munio goes to Berlin and Dessau to meet Walter Gropius, Kandinsky and Paul Klee at the Bauhaus. In 1933, the Bauhaus was closed by the Nazis, who accused Munio of treason against the German people. Munio was imprisoned, then deported to Basel. He left for Palestine. Upon his arrival in Haifa, he began a career as an architect and adapted European modernist principles to the Middle East.

6 октября 1973 года. Два молодых человека едут на войну ("война Судного Дня" - Израиль против Сирии и Египта). Один - патриот, хочет поучаствовать во "взрослом деле" и едет на войну с радостью, которая впоследствии исчезает. Другой - молодой человек с жилкой теоретика, начитавшийся Маркузе: по дороге на фронт в своём стареньком "Фиате" он рассуждает о том, как избавиться от ненужных стремлений и не покупать модных машин, навязываемых рекламой. Но, оказавшись пушечным мясом, молодые люди забывают и о патриотизме, и о рекламе, к которой лучше не прислушиваться.

In the train on the way to the Festival in Vesoul, filmmakers Amos Gitai and Elia Suleiman talk about the subjects that preoccupy them: war and peace in the Middle East, their film projects, their cities, their private lives… In Vesoul, the French welcome is rather comical and the questions of war and peace in the Middle East create misunderstandings: through a kind of inverted exoticism, we end up wondering who is really the “stranger” in this story.

Two interconnected stories in the 1930s, one set in Berlin, the other in Palestine: Mania Vilbouchevich Shohat (1880-1961), called Tania, a Russian Jew and revolutionary, goes from Minsk to Palestine to live on a collective. She promotes feminism and laments a shift in the men from self-defense to aggression. Her friend, Else Lasker-Schuler (1869 - 1945), expressionist poet and German Jew, is in Berlin, writing, caring for her son, watching Hitler's movement take power. She goes to Jerusalem and imagines a park for Arab and Jew. Her poems, voiced from within, capture her experience. The film meditates on the violence at the root of Israel's birth: of the Nazis and of the Zionists.
