Inspired by Bertolt Brecht’s poem “A Worker Reads History”, documentary and fictional scenes are juxtaposed to create a parable about the need for a strong man, a charismatic leader. This film includes the first images filmed by Gitai in Wadi Rushmia in 1974.

Amos Gitai’s mother, Efratia Margalit Gitai, walks by the seaside and sits on the beach talking with Ophrah Shemesh, who would appear later in several of Amos Gitai’s projects, including “Golem The Spirit of Exile” in 1991.
