In 1869, John McGregor, a Scottish explorer, descends the Jordan River in a canoe from its sources to the Sea of Galilee. In the summer of 2011, Effi and Amir, Israelis from "abroad" based in Brussels, follow in his footsteps and make the same journey. Amidst mythical landscapes where people and nature are shaped by politics, religion, and history, the filmmakers take us on a sunny and intense road movie. Through encounters with Israeli vacationers, they explore and question what shapes the perception of a place, prompting reflection on our own relationship with roots.
