But Menuchim is sick, he never learns walking nor speaking. As time moves on he and his wife veer away from each other and his other children no longer follow the traditional Jewish way of life. Samuchim has to flee to America, so he has not to join the army. And soon he lives the American way. Jonas on the other hand wishes to be part of the army. Mendels daughter Mirjam sleeps with (non Jewish) Cossacks. Everything seems to fall apart. After some years a friend of Samuchin arrives and offers them a passage to America.
