Beta Israel is a Jewish community of several tens of thousands who lived in Ethiopia before the mass repatriation to Israel in the late twentieth century. Ruchama Ehrenhalt's short film is set about the filmmaker's nephew, the son of her sister, a white American-Israeli woman, and her husband, a dark-skinned Ethiopian Jew. Around the age of three, the boy began to notice that he looked nothing like either his «light» mom or his «dark» dad. The film explores the phenomenon of biracial children and how skin color from an early age influences the formation of their identity.
