Plot
Storyline
In 1949, former concentration camp inmate and Berlin native Hans Muller, immigrates to Israel where, due to psychological problems, he can't adjust to peacetime life.
After being incarcerated in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, a Jewish vaudevillian-juggler emigrates to Israel in hopes of beginning and making a new life. He is neurotic about authority and confinement, from his experiences in the Nazi death camps, and is quick to anger. When asked by an Israeli policeman for his identification papers, he smashes the police officer in the face. Thinking he has killed the man, he flees across the country, meets and falls in love with a young girl, and teachers a young orphan boy to juggle while searching for peace of mind.
