Mitla Pass

From the Russian pogroms to the American dream, from Hollywood's heyday to the Promised Land, we witness the dramatic life of gifted young author and troubled war hero Gideon Zadok. In an epic search for himself, his art, and his heritage, Gideon journeys to Israel, where he is captivated by the lovely Holocaust survivor Natasha Solomon, whose soulful, tough passion for him unleashes his own smoldering desires. Torn between love for his steadfast wife, who supported him through years of failure and rejection, and the overwhelming passion of his new soul mate. Gideon wrestles with the frightening power of his turbulent emotions. But it is not until he enters the Sinai War at Mitla Pass that he confronts his personal demons. There amid the violence behind enemy lines, he wages a fierce war within himself -- a war of love, and choices, and future -- for the real Gideon Zadok.
