Every time one of his sons is sent on a military operation, Aviram Barkai's anxiety and unresolved questions reappear. Barkai longs for peace with the Arab neighbors, he believes in a state with a Jewish majority and a Jewish identity, he does not want to control other residents, whatever their names and nicknames may be. Is there a way to sustain all of these? And is it possible to find a miracle formula that will end the bloody conflict? "A nation that does not know its past, has a poor present and its future is full of fog," stated Yigal Alon. That is why Barkai turns back, to the near and distant past. From the creation of the world and Abraham who was chosen to be the first father of the chosen people; continuation of the upheavals experienced by the chosen people; And ends with the decision to re-establish the Jewish state in the place which they were repeatedly exiled from, at the cost of the decision and with the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict until today. And yet this is not a history book. It is a journey full of humor and pain, facts and myths, personal memories and collective experiences. You can agree or disagree with him, but one thing is for sure: there is no dull moment on the way." -- Cataloger's translation and interpretation of the Hebrew synopsis
