Synopsis
In IL they are the rus, in Russia the Jews; and everywhere a little alien. The film is a portrait of three ru-speaking Jews in IL. Their immigration - the aliyah means 'ascent', the return of the Diaspora, a homecoming. But home can mean a lot. Security and shelter. Settling. Claims and ownership. The freedom in your personal space, or its confinement. Home is the place, where you welcome friends and foreigners. Or keep them away. A place to rule - on the map or at heart. It is a story of the quest for that place and a new self, where some of them make it, some of them don't. Three people, three lives, three stories.
