Although we wish to set the course of our own lives, we are often
controlled by the circumstances that surround us. How true this was
for Tzvi Apfel, a handsome shtetl Jew who loses his mother and is
left with an ailing father amidst pogroms and looming anti-Semitism
in Poland at the turn of the 20th century. As revolution transforms
the land and its people and WWI, the "War to End All Wars," strikes
like a burning torch, Tzvi is cast amidst world events. He wants no
more than the love of his beautiful wife and a Jewish home. But his
charisma forces him into leadership he never wishes for, across
Siberia, into the gangs and labor struggles of Warsaw, and on to
the fires of war. Over trials of life and war Tzvi learns how
imperfect we are. How fragile. How we attempt to live our lives by
high ideals. How much we miss the mark. How we seek to protect
those whom we love and fulfill a multitude of obligations. A man,
challenged by the times, he questions, why would God choose such an
imperfect guardian.
