Overview

Summary: "Leaving the devastation of World War II behind them, a little girl and her brother travel from Europe to Israel in search of family, hope, and future. Placed in a refugee camp on their arrival they are confronted by a world of colorful characters whose intrigues both terrify and tantalize them and are forced to face the difficult realities of a new land. Powerfully reflecting the complexities of Israeli society at its birth, Newland is a stunning film that travels a surprising path towards a startling conclusion."--Container.
