Prof. Uzzi Ornan, one of the leaders of the struggle against religious coercion in Israel and one of the founders of the Canaanite movement in the late 1930s, remains optimistic about the radical possibility of establishing the civil state he dreamed of.
At the age of 94, Uzzi decides to embark on his last struggle against the religious establishment, demanding a secular burial place for him and the rest of the residents, in the place where he lives.
The slow clock hands of the bureaucratic mechanisms are not moving in pace with the approaching end of his life. It seems that this is Uzzi’s last chance to create a real change and that the success of his private struggle will be a significant milestone in his lifelong attempt to lead a revolution in the identity of the State of Israel.
