English titles: Live and Become; Go, See, and Become.
Synopsis: In the mid-eighties, Israel recognized the Falashas in Ethiopia as legitimate Jews (the legend says that they descend from Solomon and Sheba), and set up a covert operation to transport them from Ethiopia to Israel, via Sudan. The film tells the story of a non-Falasha boy in a Sudanese refugee camp who joins the emigrants by passing as a Falasha and arrives in Israel where he is adopted by an Israeli family.
Appraisal: Horribly directed and totally inept in the enactment of plausible human behavior. Nevertheless, the story has an inherent appeal which is to a certain extent immune to its director.
