SYNOPSIS

Here we look at a living space that, in its time, symbolized a highly original community project. What has become of one of the first Kibbutz's established in Palestine in 1922, founded on lay and socialist principles? From the founders – militants of the "Bund" from eastern Europe – to the current multicultural situation of today, how do the inhabitants experience the changes of this Kibbutz in the topsy-turvy contemporary context, which is more conflictual than ever? This itinerary goes from pioneer idealism to the origins of the current daily tensions.
