By means of a camera and a lot of nerve, Tzukerman confronts settlers in Judea and Samaria. He attempts to be their guest, to become a settler, and finally to confront them. The movie reveals the power relations in Israeli society, the personality of the conquering Israeli, and the paranoia that characterizes both sides – the Jewish settlers and the ‘foreign’ Jew who comes from the city.
