This documentary focuses on the Hamar Tribe, a semi nomadic and rural people who live along the Omo River in Southwestern Ethiopia. Preserving the traditions of their ancestors is essential to defining Hamar life. One of the most venerated of the Hamar’s ancient traditions involves the transition of the Hamar male into an adult. Today, however there is a new awareness that aspects of this tradition are harmful to the health and well being of many who participate. The Hamar people are beginning to consider how their tradition can evolve.

In 1954, baby Simhona's parents, new immigrants from Iran who were living in a refugee tent city in Bet Shean, Israel, were told that their daughter was ill and needed to be hospitalized. She was taken away from them by a "nurse", and they never saw the nurse or the baby again. Days later, they were informed of Simhona's death, though no body was returned to them. Simhona's mother, now in her 90s, never recovered emotionally from the loss of the baby.

Recently, following the opening of the Israeli archives concerning the abduction of Yemenite immigrant children in the 1950's, Eli (77), Simhona's older brother, decided to begin the search for Simhona with the help of his filmmaker daughter.
