The Tale of Nicolai and the Law of Return

The Tale of Nicolai and the Law of Return (2008)

האגדה על ניקולאי וחוק השבות

As Nicolai watches the end of Communism from his tiny village in deepest Romania, he realises one thing: he must emigrate to find work overseas. Before long he finds himself alongside thousands of other migrant workers in Israel – alone, exploited and far from his pregnant wife. Desperate to better his situation, he escapes and is arrested as an illegal worker, before a chance piece of information transforms everything in ways that he never dreamt possible.
