Nathan is a young, impressionable boy who is saved from the Nazis
by Catholic gentiles in his homeland, Holland. But in order to
survive he must learn to be a good Catholic and undergo baptism.
From there it is only a small leap to begin his studies in the
Catholic priesthood. By the time he is fifteen, Nathan learns of
his parent's conversion to Catholicism. While studying to be a
priest, Nathan confronts a notorious Jew-hating priest and realises
that he cannot represent a religion nurtured from the seeds of
anti-Semitism. After his father's death he leaves the Catholic
boarding school to fulfil his army duty and then begins the study
of law. Becoming a member of the Dutch Zionist Students Union helps
Nathan further identify with his Jewish roots, and he decides to
return to the Jewish tradition. He marries a Jewish woman, but the
traumas he has undergone begin to insidiously destroy his ability
to love and be loved. When he immigrates to Israel with his wife he
makes a momentous decision: he will take on the obligations and
practices of an Orthodox Jew. This is a true story of one man's
heroic battle for physical survival in the face of Nazi persecution
and his never-ending spiritual battle to recapture his soul.
