The work explores Jewish identity from the point of view of the American film maker, who was raised to believe that Israel is the land of milk and honey. However, the reality of her personal experiences collides with that Edenic image. Instead, the state of Israel is complex, shape-shifting and often disappointing. Therefore: skim milk, a substance of reduced nutritional value, but which still lives in the name of milk. And wax, the stuff of religious offerings, which is always ready to change its shape. (DL)
