Meseganio Tadela, 74, immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia 28 years ago with his family. He has chosen to zealously retain his culture, talks very little, and hardly speaks Hebrew. After losing his wife, he sets out on a journey that leads him through his children’s homes, and comes to realize that he belongs to a rapidly disappearing class that believes in retaining Ethiopian culture.
