In 1984, hundreds of thousands Africans from 26 famine-struck countries find themselves in refugee camps in Sudan. Operation Moses, a vast project initiated by Israel and the United States, is undertaken to bring the Ethiopian Jews (Falashas) to Israel. A Christian mother pushes her 9-year-old son to declare himself Jewish, in order to survive. The child arrives in the Promised Land. Officially an orphan, he is adopted by a French Sephardi family living in Tel-Aviv. He grows up fearing that his secrets and lies will be discovered: he is neither Jewish nor orphan, only black. He will discover love, Western culture and Judaism as well as racism and war in the Occupied Territories. He will become Jewish, Israeli, French and Tunisian all at once – a human Tower of Babel. But he will never forget his real mother, that who stayed at the camp, and he will always dream of find her again.
