Life is But a Dream

An ultra-Orthodox American Jew moves with his family to a small illegal Israeli outpost in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Undoubtedly as a result of dictates of contemporary capitalist societ, Gedalia has made the decision to join a “human avant-garde”.  Evidently for Gedalia, this is an essential tool for the development and operation of the colonial mechanism. In the context of expropriation, Gedalia feels free to build his home and to try to fulfill his dream: a simple life, in harmony with God, outside the laws and duties of society.
