An up close and personal look at what is left of the essence of the kibbutz today. Made up of impressions, feelings and random conversations with old acquaintances and friends of filmmaker Lavi Ben Gal, who once used to live here himself. According to kibbutz regulations, at 28-years-old each member has to decide whether to stay or leave. Lavi left but comes back with his camera. On the paths of the kibbutz he meets people who share their feelings and fears with him regarding the many uncertainties in their new lives. The kibbutz is no longer what he remembers it to be. The fundamentals on which it was built have slowly been blurred in modern times. The partnership and the socialist ideas have been replaced by capitalism. The community is no longer the pumping heart feeding its limbs--everyone is on his own. Anonymity and individualism have reached the core of this communal society.
