An exciting adventure story in which four children embark on a courageous journey together into the Negev desert. Erez, a young boy, struggles to cope with his father’s death and live up to his legacy, and to make matters worse he also has to deal with the bullies in his class. His life changes when he meets Alicia, an immigrant girl from Russia and together with her brother and another boy, Lior, from a kibbutz, they form a heroic team to overcome adversity. In the process they learn a lot about themselves and each other.
