Hailed by critics as "the first and probably last Israeli hippie film", the film attempts to answer the dilemmas and distresses Israeli youth in the pre-Yom Kippur War.

Shalom, a young Israeli at the outset of his life, was born into a bourgeois family in Tel-Aviv.

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.

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.
