In Paris they were called "Jews", in Israel they are the "French": Marouane who was circumcised at the age of 18, dreams of becoming a shepherd in Jerusalem; Isabelle who follows her husband to Netanya, leaves her son behind; and Valerie, the television star, lives in Tel Aviv and misses a Paris that has long gone. Terror attacks in France, Terror attacks in Israel. Wandering Jews, arriving in Israel to discover its reality - tougher than they knew, beautiful and struggling, disintegrating. Five years of continuous cinematic observation of the French immigration, 100,000 people and one question left open: Why?
