Description

It’s 1991. Twelve-year-old Misha is documenting his Russian family’s journey to Israel on a home video camera. The already traumatic immigration experience is amped up to absurd proportions when the family’s elderly aunt dies on the plane just before they reach the land of their ancestors.
