Shahar is an unemployed filmmaker. His father, Sleiman, a strict 82 year old Yemenite, suggests that Shahar should make a film about the Jewish Brigade, in which he served during WWII. Shahar becomes enthusiastic when he realizes that his father may have left some "souvenirs", by having impregnated two Dutch women. He decides to make the film hoping to find his father’s lost off- springs and maybe take off some of the burden of his father’s criticism.
They set out together in the trail of the Jewish Brigade, beginning in Israel, through Italy, Germany and ending in Holland with a surprising discovery. The film exposes with humor and compassion the complex father-son relationship between Sleiman and Shahar, and raises universal questions and thoughts about the tension between myths of bravery and reality and between memory and historical truth.
