Contents Summary
140 years ago, a few hundred Circassians arrived in Israel and settled in two villages in the Galilee. Today the community counts over 4,000 people. The effort to preserve the legacy that they brought with them from Caucasus, in addition to observing a Moslem way of life, lead to daily conflict with the open western way of life. The Circassians, for whom honor and shame are central components in how they relate to the world, quietly bare their immense disappointment from the way they’ve been received into Israeli society. Today, despite the fact that they serve in the army, they are still not accepted as equals. The film follows their attempt to preserve their rigid social codes with regard to tradition among the younger members of the community, and the way they cope with the constant conflict – to go back to Caucasus or stay in Israel.
