In a lost country there is a strange mountain on which culminates a fortress which is the seat of a frightening legend. This mountain is called "The Mountain of a Thousand Glances" because one feels observed, watched... No one has gone there for a long time, the legend that surrounds it is far too oppressive...

We see him leave his home and go on his way up into the mountain to hunt. When he reaches a remote part in the forest he takes a black cape and mask from under a rock and puts them on, thus concealing his identity.

An old wooden house, surrounded by walls and guarded by angry soldiers, and a director, Micol Roubini, who tries to enter this place. It's not just any place for her. That house looks a lot like one he saw in an old photo from 1919: the one built by his grandfather, and then abandoned by him to escape persecution against Jews during World War II. We are in Jamna, a small country in the west of Ukraine that is now independent. The guards prevent anyone from passing, and no one knows why. And the inhabitants of the country are of almost no help.

The same old adventure recited in a new synthetic world, starring: God, Abraham, Isaac, a lost shepherd and the antelopes in the role of the ram. Nobody is innocent.
