22-year old Sasha’s greatest wish is to become an Israeli. He changes his name to Yair, speaks only Hebrew and completely re-invents his life until he gets a package from his aunt in the Ukraine. The contents challenge everything he knows about himself, forcing him to question his religious beliefs and learn more about the Russian identity he’s struggled to suppress. At the end of his personal journey, he can finally choose who he truly is, what he wants from life, and his place in the new world he is creating for himself.
