The video is a reconstruction of Dzigan and Shumacher attempts to escape the labor camp of Aktyubinsk in Soviet Kazakhstan performed by puppets.
The clothing of the characters resembles the costumes that the artists used in their performances in Israel and refer to their time in the Soviet labor camps. If in reality Dzigan and Shumacher were supposed to flee the Soviet Union, in the film their getaway takes place in North Herzliya (typical Israeli buildings and landscape point to that), whereas the Mediterranean sea appears to be the hope for escape.

Shimen Dzigan and Isroel Schumacher started their acting careers at the experimental Yiddish theatre “Ararat” in Łódź, Poland, which was established in 1927 under the direction of the poet Moyshe Broderzon. Few years later they left for Warsaw and founded an independent satirical theatre, which played a key role in Eastern European Jewish culture. Their theatre was characterized by sharp humor, witty political satire, and extraordinary acting. During World War II, Dzigan and Shumacher continued their artistic practice in the Soviet Union and it was there that they both were arrested in 1941 and charged with anti-Soviet activities. They spent four years in a labor camp in Kazakhstan. In 1947 Dzigan and Shumacher returned to Poland where they performed for two years and later undertook a performance tour in Europe. They first performed in Israel in 1950 and acted together until their separation in 1960. Schumacher died in 1961 and Dzigan continued to appear with his satirical theatre in Israel and abroad until 1980.
