 Shalom, a young Israeli at the outset of his life, was born into a bourgeois family in Tel-Aviv. His parents wish he would go to college, but Shalom doesn t feel like studying. His father isn t quite convinced his beloved son is doing the best he can when not doing anything at all. Shalom has a dilapidated station-wagon, two girlfriends to ride and love and "don t think twice, it s all right", as one of them sings to her sweet babbling infant. Shalom goes out on the road looking for his own self - an Israeli easy rider. In his wandering he comes across a group of artists debating over Israel s social-political fate. War and peace, occupied territories and settlements, rich and poor. One thing is not up for discussion, the future doesn t seem bright. Shalom makes up his mind to leave it all and go to America. Makes up his mind, but stays.
