- SynopsisDuring the Ethiopian famine of the mid-1980s, several thousand Ethiopian Jews were rescued and transported to Israel. To escape the famine, a young boy is persuaded by his mother to pose as a Jewish orphan. The boy is adopted by a Jewish family and grows up in Tel Aviv, but always in fear of being exposed. Nor can he forget his true identity. (Synopsis)
