Plot
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Eine junge Graphologin (Alma Bach) embarks on the trail of a man whose handwriting was sent to her for analysis. She discovers characteristics such as sharp wit, high degree of general knowledge, and courage. She discovers a passionate man with a highly developed imagination, linguistic style, and the sensitivity of an artist, a man endowed with a magnetic personality who draws people to him while at the same time secluding himself and keeping a secret, but mainly a man who is capable of loving at great magnitudes and who is willing to sacrifice for his love, for his love of the land, for his love of a woman, and eventually pay the ultimate price therefor. Alma is determined to meet this man face-to-face.[4]
The story essentially moves back and forth between two time periods, the first of which takes place in modern-day Israel, where Alma undergoes her journey to discover the man whom she is looking for. The second lays out a biographical depiction of the life of Avshalom Feinberg, founder and leader of the Nili spy ring, which starts in late 19th-century Palestine and continues into the early part of the 20th century.[4]
