This historical epic interweaves the story of the first wave of Jewish European migration to Palestine, at the end of the 19th century, with an unusual love story between Fania, a young Russian immigrant, and Yechiel, a native Jew. Fania is burdened by a harrowing secret and unless her husband Yechiel shares this secret, their marriage cannot be consummated.
