For the household of the bit red-headed Malka, trading the Russian shtetl for the Argentine pampas isn’t so easy. even in a country excited to populate its huge territories, the immigrants find that their new house isn’t the guaranteed land. They encounter hostility from both guy as well as nature as they struggle with droughts as well as locusts in an attempt to cultivate the arid soil. When misery pushes them to the extreme, Malka’s uncle is checked out by the prophet Elias, who advises that he produce a Golem—the mythical creature fashioned from earth as well as endowed with life by engraving on his body the word “emet” (“truth”)—to present as a guy as well as aid the immigrants. Years later, when the adult Malka is checked out by Elias, the events of her youth force her to choose whether or not she can preserve her silence—with fate as well as divine justice hanging in the balance.
