“The massive Aliyah of over one million people from the former Soviet Union during the 1990’s has left an indelible mark on Israeli society– especially in high tech, medicine, sports and the arts. However, their absorption was not without challenges, sacrifices and discrimination. Three decades later, the film captures the profound perspective of “generation 1.5”: those who were born in the USSR and immigrated to Israel as children or teenagers.
