Synopsis

1991. The beginning of the massive emigration wave from the USSR to Israel. Twelve-year-old Misha is documenting his family's journey on a home-video camera. The traumatic immigration experience is enhanced up to absurd proportions when their old aunt, Roza, dies on the plane before reaching their ancestors' land.
