At the beginning, there is a symbolic striving (and search) for a state focused on the Jewish religion; all that is depicted through a seeker who is called upon to wait for a leader. That leader is to appear in the person of Theodor Herzl. From his childhood, he has experienced the repression of Jews, which has become an everyday occurrence. Later, as a successful lawyer, he becomes aware of his attachment to Judaism and devotes his life to it. An encounter with a bookseller whose fate is marked by oppression and escape becomes a lifechanging experience… “Images of enchanting magnificence. Theodor Herzl appears as a savior and with him we see the emergence of a new land, the soaring palaces of Zion, which, in Herzl’s view, should be the future of the Jewish people.” (Viennale)
