 In 1939, Kalman, an ambitious young businessman, leaves Europe to join his sister Samantha in Palestine. She lives with Dov, an idealistic architect obsessed with the Bauhaus style. With their friends, they form a group, which discusses the future Israeli State. A loose adaptation of Arthur Miller's novel "Homely Girl, A Life". "At the height of the Zionist movement, Gitai films this anglophone couple who have come to Palestine for idealistic reasons... Their roots remain in their native country. The couple is wrapped up in a claustrophobic intimacy and never really connects with the land of their ideals. Except for her: she loses her position in this male-dominated world but discovers a certain dignity in being herself, alone."
