The film inspired by Marek Hłasko's novels "Second Killing of the Dog" and „The Converted in Jaffa”.
The film is a drama in the noire style with surprising twists and turns. The life in the newly formed state of Israel, the Promised Land, turns out not to be free from eternal dilemmas.
Wartime experiences and unfavourable economic conditions mean that the protagonists have to show cunning and, sometimes, cruelty in order to survive for another day. On top of this, the conflict between the genders, which has been going on since the dawn of humanity, means that the simple desire for love is still not satisfied.
