An American reporter and his girl-friend are visiting Israel to get a "sense of the people", in the process he meets many Israelis and some Arabs as well, particularly becoming friends with an Israeli Army reserve officer as well as an idealistic young man who is a pacifist.

Sergeant Gidi Tsur (Topol) serves in the reserve in the Suez Canal. He goes on vacation and is supposed to meet with his wife to get divorced in the Rabbinate. Meanwhile, he spends his time in the company of other women.

Werner Fahrenheim comes home from the war after a long period in captivity, only to realise that no one is there to welcome him, that the world he had left behind has since changed beyond recognition, and that his wife Inga did not wait for him.
