In the 17th century, Jacob, a Jew who survives a massacre in Ukraine, becomes a slave in a Polish village. While tending sheep and praying, he falls in love with Wanda, his master's daughter. After being freed, Jacob decides to seek Wanda and join her, facing political, social, and religious challenges. This moving love story, written by Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer, explores human desires in an environment of violence and superstition.
