action
After Lukas returned from Jordan seriously injured by gunshot wounds , where he and Dina's friend Marco and two other companions were researching the whereabouts of the biblical scrolls that are supposed to be in the rock city "Citra" (the name of the city of Petra ), he reports in his last breath, that Marco was still badly injured in Citra and that they would have found the scrolls.
The dancer Dina manages to get money and to motivate four male companions for a rescue operation. Later it becomes apparent that everyone participates for different reasons of motivation: One wants the scrolls and becomes a traitor to the group out of greed, the other wants to save Marco, one wants to experience an adventure and the other is part of the party out of scientific curiosity .
Disguised as Bedouins with camels, horses and donkeys, the Israeli group manages the dangerous border crossing from Israel into the Jordanian enemy territory. The danger lurks at every corner. As a result, there are numerous dangerous to life-threatening situations, among other things Dina is missed by a shot that kills her donkey before they are in Citra. The barren landscape serves as the backdrop for the expedition, which is unlikely to be successful.
In the temple in Citra, in addition to the scrolls of King Solomon, they also find the seriously injured Marco, who dies shortly afterwards. In an exchange of fire with the Bedouins who appear, all of whom are killed by the Israeli group, a member of the group also dies. The previously found scrolls are carried away in the wind.
background
The two countries featured in the plot were in conflict at the time of shooting. Nevertheless, director Raphael Nussbaum got a filming permit in Petra.
