Uri, a refugee from Eastern Europe, hoped for a normal life in Israel. But neither his marriage to an Israeli woman nor his career in the army make an Israeli of him. After commanding a reserve company in the battle for Jerusalem in 1967, Uri finds work at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, filing testimonies about the life and death of his lost community. He is haunted by eerie and vivid memories of the ghetto and jolted by every shift of consciousness.
