In this Avi Nesher-directed film, a group of families emigrates from India to Israel in the late sixties. To their surprise, they are sent to a new settlement in the middle of the Negev desert, populated mostly by Moroccan Jews. The two cultures clash as the new group tries to integrate into the community. There are scenes of great comedy, including one where the Moroccans try to master the basics of cricket.
