Summary
The magnificent, epic story of an Ethiopian boy who is airlifted from a Sudanese refugee camp to Israel in 1984 during Operation Moses. Shlomo is plagued by two big secrets: He is neither a Jew nor an orphan, just an African boy who survived and wants, somehow, to fulfill his Ethiopian mother's parting request that he "go, live, and become." Buoyed by a profound and unfaltering motherly love - both in his memory and in the arms of his adoptive mother - he ultimately finds an identity and a happiness all his own. Winner of three awards at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. Winner of a **César Award** for Best Screenplay. "*The bounty of incident is balanced by knowing humor, compelling characters and a dedicated compassion toward those for whom the search for home sends their head, heart and feet flying in all directions.*" - Robert Abele, **Los Angeles Times**
