This novel tells the story of a group of immigrants that come over to Israel to work on a Jewish refugee camp in 1950. These immigrants worked on a kibbutz and one of the immigrants, Nuri, is a teenage boy whose job on the kibbutz was to shovel manure. Living and working on this kibbutz lead to conflict between East and West; a time of change on social life and political revolutions during this time. Olga, another immigrant in the camp, takes us back to the holocaust when we discover that she has a tattoo of numbers on her arm. Dolek, who was the doctor of manure on the farm, tells stories of anti-Semitism.
