Synopsis
A political thriller set in the 1930s in Tel Aviv, a brand new European, Jewish city being built on the shores of the Mediterranean. Thomas Wilkin is in love with the city and with Shoshana Borochov. Through their relationship the film explores the way extremism and violence pushes people apart, forcing people to choose one side or the other. Wilkin works with Geoffrey Morton in the anti terrorist squad of the British Palestine Police force, chasing the charismatic poet and underground leader Avraham Stern. Stern believes Israel can only be built through violence. His two main targets are Wilkin and Morton. Shoshana, like most of Tel Aviv, is modern, progressive and feminist. She hates the politics of Stern and his followers. But as the violence builds everyone is forced to choose which side they will fight on.
