This charming, fable-like first feature from accomplished documentarist Ra′anan Alexandrowicz provides an ironic portrait of contemporary Israeli society as seen through the eyes of a naive foreigner. In the imaginary African village of Entshongweni, far from western civilization, a devout young Christian called James is chosen to undertake a mission-a pilgrimage to Holy Jerusalem. But Israel is no longer the Promised Land that James and his people imagine. At the Tel Aviv airport, a cynical immigration officer suspects him of trying to infiltrate the country in order to work illegally. James is jailed and destined for deportation. Inside his dark prison cell, he prays to be allowed to complete his mission. A seeming miracle occurs when a mysterious stranger posts his bail. But it soon becomes clear that James′ freedom has come at a price--his savior is a manpower agent who rescues illegal migrant workers in order to exploit them. James′s journey to Jerusalem turns into an unpredictable trip through the cruel heart of Israel′s economic system.
