La película sigue el hilo del solitario y místico viaje de una chica judía que deja Jerúsalem y ahora se dirige a tierras árabes.

Drifting through transient terrains on foot and by train and boat, Nina Menkes’s hypnotic odyssey evokes unspoken feelings of exile and alienation through trance-like imagery. As the vagabond heroine, the enigmatic aura of her real-life sister Tinka Menkes strikes a powerful, autobiographical cord.
