plot:
In 1980 the black Falashas in Ethiopia are recognised as genuine Jews.
In turn they are secretly carried to Israel. The day before the transport
the son of a Jewish mother dies. In his place and with his name (Schlomo)
she takes a Christian 9-year-old boy. Upon arrival this second mother 
dies. Schlomo is adopted by a good family but remains depressed until he
secretly sends a letter to his real mother. From the beginning he 
experiences large and small racist difficulties. In his teens he and Sarah
fall in love. Her father is an extreme racist. Schlomo tries to gain 
"real Jewishness" by winning a competition in Bible interpretation. 
No change of Sarah's father's attitude. Disappointed he goes to the police
and reports himself as not being a Jew. But the police officer just gives
him a scolding. "The newspapers are full of that stuff, the Falashas are 
no Jews. Now they begin to believe it themselves." His adoptive parents
send him to France to study medicine. When he afterwards marries Sarah she
loses her family and her status as a "white Jew". But he dares not tell 
her the truth until she becomes pregnant. She leaves him, but only because
he had not trusted that she would love him as much anyway. His adoptive 
mother reconciles them. Sarah's first line when she returns: "Unbelievable
what three mothers would do for you." But she makes a condition for 
returning: Schlomo must meet his real mother again. As a doctor he takes a
job in the Ethiopian fugitive camp where she is still alive
