This is the story of Christine, a young, German non-Jew, daughter of a Protestant family, who immigrates to Israel. Fourteen years ago she dreamt about living in Israel, connecting her fate to both the land and the Jewish people, so she packed her belongings and left for Israel.
After spending several years living in Israel, she still feels like an outsider bearing the “Mark of Cain”, because of her foreign origin. Despite her numerous attempts to immerse herself in all aspects of society, Christine continues to run into a metaphorical glass wall. All too often she experiences the unspoken taboos of an outsider coming from different roots. She then discovers one of her dreams, and converts to Judaism, but even after her re-birth she finds that Israelis still won’t fully accept her, and that reality is not like her dream.
