Abstract
The children of the first kibbutzim were born in the early 20th century to
youthful parents and were destined to become the “New Man.” They were
educated in an ideological society that aspired to replace the traditional family
unit with the collective.
The film is a collage comprised of over eighty amateur films and rare footage
shot in kibbutzim between 1930-1980.
The tapestry of materials from which the film is compiled creates both a very
personal and very public portrait, a sort of super-story about one of the most
fascinating myths of the Zionist movement in Israel.
