Adapted from Yoram Kaniuk's best-selling novel, this heart-rending love story unfolds during the siege of Jerusalem in 1948. A young and beautiful volunteer nurse is drawn to the enigmatic Himmo, a mortally wounded and mutilated soldier who cannot speak or move. Written by National Center for Jewish Film Set during Israel's 1948 War for Independence, this is the story of a nurse, Kimche, and Himmo, the wounded soldier she becomes fascinated with. Himmo was once called the "King of Jerusalem" becuase of his easy charm and his way with the women. Now he's a blinded multiple amputee and chances are that he will die. Are Kimche's feelings those of love or is she somehow satisfied by nursing him and playing the saint? Written by Havan_IronOak@Bigfoot.com
