A deeply humanistic drama about identity, belonging, and survival that follows a Christian boy adopted into a Jewish family fleeing Ethiopia, grappling with trauma, displacement, and the search for home across decades.

In 1980, the black Falashas in Ethiopia are recognised as genuine Jews and are secretly carried to Israel. The day before the transport the son of a Jewish mother dies. In his place and with his name (Schlomo) she takes a Christian 9-year-old boy.
