A boy who is trying to cope with his father's death, a Russian girl with telepathic abilities, her mentally challenged brother and a boy who is an outsider in the close knit society of a kibbutz, embark on a courageous expedition to rescue two injured teenagers in the Negev.

During the adventure the four outcasts bond together, forming a heroic team: a warrior, a magician, a good-hearted giant and a thief. One of Israel’s first films for children - it provides a glimpse of Israeli reality while emphasizing the commonalities among children worldwide.
