Yankel is 90 years old and about to leave his small Bessarabian shtetl for the first time. His son, like all his other surviving friends and relatives, is immigrating to Israel and wants to take his father with him. The poignancy of the immigrant experience is highlighted as the old man weighs the pros and cons of leaving the town he has lived in all his life for a new place that he both longs for and fears. An exquisite, hauntingly beautiful film.
