Back in 2009, Cleo made his dream a reality by constructing a farm, together with his family, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Seven hours away from the metropolis of São Paulo, he now leads a self-sufficient existence alongside his wife Anita, 15 children and numerous grandchildren. Since reading the Torah at the age of 19, Cleo has practiced a very individual form of Judaism. Later, however, his children learn that the family is in fact descended from Portuguese Jews, the Marranos. Subsequently, some of them want to officially convert to Judaism and make their Aliyah, that is emigrate to Israel. What will become of Cleo's laboriously worked out rural idyll? In this fascinating documentary, director Ofer Freiman observes the family up close as he depicts the antagonism that exists between two conflicting desires; between solidarity and self-realisation.
