How did he get here? This is a film about a place. The young generation of Israeli settlers in the occupied Judean Desert are not ideological settlers, but rather- escapist settlers, trying to escape society or themselves. Yet they are unaware of the tiring daily moral burden they carry around with them, and which they are unknowingly and unsuccessfully trying to escape from as well. And so, Aharoni lives a life of aimless wandering around the dessert, alone on his funny looking Vespa. Restlessly jumping from encounter to encounter, among fellow loners as himself, trying desperately to convince themselves that they do not need anyone. But although he is depressed, detached and incapable of love and connection; the power of loneliness, emotional-dependency, insecurity and mistake- overcome, and life is able to be created. Will this bring Aharoni's exhausting vagabond days to an end?
