Asher Naim, an Israeli diplomat, is sent to Ethiopia to negotiate the release of 15,000 Ethiopian Jews from a country collapsing under famine and civil war. Working with his Ethiopian-Israeli colleagues who, themselves, immigrated to Israel a decade earlier, Asher begins to question if the Israeli government is using the operation as part of an elaborate publicity stunt to prove to the world that Zionism isn’t Racism. At the same time, the Ethiopians themselves question whether they are pawns in this scheme. With rebel forces closing in on the capital, Asher’s faith in his mission crumbles as he navigates the treacherous world of bureaucracy and politics. 

The docudrama follows the international politics behind Operation Solomon - the 2 days airlift in May 1991, that brought almost the entire Ethiopian Jews to Israel in non-stop flights of 35 Israeli aircraft.
