One day while making a delivery, he finds an open door, a magic glowing stone, and a gateway to another world. But as Kayan quickly discovers, this strange land is a troubled one. Its people are oppressed by a power-hungry Sorcerer who has imprisoned its Princess and enslaved its people. The strange thing is, these people seem to recognize him! Soon, Kayan will discover his connection to this kingdom, and why he may be the only one who can save everyone in it.

They are met by British troops, who are shooting at them, and are trying to forbid them from disembarking. As well, the survivors are met with guns blasts being shot by the Jewish secret army, who has come to help them. Only a small group actually succeeds in landing on the small beach, where they are able to experience their first hours in Palestine. Tired and hungry, the hopeful emigrants have then to follow the Jewish forces to immediately take up arms against the Arabs. Unspoken truths from both sides explode in the violent and tragic conflict.

Quotes:

Yanush: We don't have history, this is the fact. I don't know how to say this in Hebrew. But this is what it is. Our history is the way it is because of the Christians. We didn't want it be like this. We don't want it this way ever. They forced this on us,and we can't help it. Because of this, I am telling you, I'm against this. But I didn't say anything. She didn't exist because of me. You may find it hard to imagine that I am so intensely against this. I'm really disgusted. Think about it, what have we found? Repression, slander, persecution, and sacrifice. Imbuing with hatred, uninteresting. No glory, no advantage. No heroes, no conquerers. Merely a lot of unlucky traces, moan and weep. Always looking for pardon. I ban indoctrinating the Jews stories to our children. Why does it have to be this way? I say to them. From the day we were expelled from our homeland, we became a people without history. The class no longer exists. Some people find it heroic, because we've experienced the suffering. I have nothing to say to this heroism. When a man is despair to no end, anyone can become a hero, whether he wants to or not. Do you understand? I'll talk to you about this kind of heroism, at the gathering this evening. Look, I have quietly experienced all this! Who is to say it could be any better? Look, we endured the suffering but we'll never have enough of it. Because if it's not for this, we will not exist anymore. That is what I wanted to say to you, endure, endure, endure, Under this situation,sorrow is better than joy. We replace action with our suffering. We'd rather expiate with slavery. This is an illusion of reality, of our hope for the future, our beautiful belief, so on and so forth, how dreadful! It's misery that makes us Jews. It proves that we are valiant. Whoever We didn't do anything. This makes sense, in other words, You cannot destroy us, You will never destroy us. There's no power on earth can do that. The power is limited. But our endurance is not! This expounds everything about the exile, affliction, and the Messiah... The amalgamate of these three, causes Jews not to be able to stand up.causes Jews to continuously drip from one people to another people. causes us to be pursued by hatred by hatred... in exile and exile. How they like this. The richer they get, the more valuable Jerusalem becomes... In exile, our pyramid is built with affliction at the bottom, with our Messiah at the top. The code of Judaism resembles the book of the nether world ! Thousands of men, all of them.in the 2000 years became insane. How admirable, what abominable people! Abominably insane. This kind of insanity is intentional. It comes out of the belief of the Messiah. It's simply a made-up story. Without this made-up story. Everything will be different. In order to end this nightmare, they should end in Palestine or elsewhere. It will compel them to think about their future. You need not do the things you need to. The Messiah will come soon, and he will settle everything. Likewise, anything you should do is to be banned. Banned! We should go on in exile in perpetuity, until the Providence feel that he should rescue us? I... I think... Israel is no longer the country of Jews, not now, but at least in the future. Time will tell us. It's all over. Finished.
