"I'm Jewish. What does that mean?" asks Daniel Cohn-Bendit in this film full of encounters. He sets out for Israel and begins a personal search for his own Judaism. The people and places he encounters on his journey could hardly be more different, and yet the discussion always revolves around the central question of this film: what is "Jewish identity"? On his journey he is thrown back - again and again - on his relationship to his own Judaism and forced to examine it. Cohn-Bendit discusses with liberal and ultra-pious Jews, with a settler in the West Bank, a Palestinian in East Jerusalem and even with a former intelligence chief who is critical of the occupation and who admits that if he were a Palestinian, he would take up arms.
