1941. Der osten Europas erbebt unter der Gewalt des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Unerbittlich r¸cken die deutschen Truppen vor und zermelmen alles, was sich ihnen entgegenstellt. In einem kleinen j¸dischen Dorf geht die Ansgt um, seinen B¸rgern kˆnne es bald so gehen wie vielen anderen davor: Gefangennahme, Verschleppung, Ermordung.
Dorfnarr Schlomo hat den rettenden Einfall: Um den Deutschen zuvor zu kommen, sollen sich die Dorfbewohner selbst deportieren und so die Flucht nach Pal‰stina antreten. In einem getarnten G¸terwagon tritt der Zug des Lebens seine Irrfahrt ins gelobte Land an. Zun‰chst l‰uft alles nach Plan, doch schon bald heften sich nicht nur die Deutschen an seine Fersen ...
