A young couple wants to break free of the antagonistic nature of their home village.
Young men are faced with a medical commission for army recruits and asked to choose where they want to get to, at least theoretically.
The film abstractly depicts the fate of a group of Jews of various ages fleeing across the desert. The ruins of buildings visible in the sand suggest that the fugitives are Holocaust survivors. The exhausted travelers try to survive in the desert, but faced with the indifference of others, they are left to fend for themselves.
