An ambivalent deconstruction of fantasies about the Promised Land and faith in art, which is carried out through the stereotypical game of infinite pursuit, hiding and fleeing. At the same time it is a dialectic confrontation of the certain heroics of the regime that operated by prohibition and its own distance from the people, with the proclamation of the approaching western system of liberal capitalism.
