"Jews arrived in India in 72 C.E., soon after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Throughout the years, though deeply loyal to India, they prayed for their return to Zion. This documentary captures the conflicting emotions of two generations of Cochin Jews, and explores their religious, cultural and economic life."
