Le film entrelace événements historiques et souvenirs intimes. J’observe la façon dont l’architecture représente les transformations de la société et ceux qui donnent forme à cette architecture. Nous suivons le parcours de Munio, mon père, né en 1909 en Silésie, en Pologne, fils d’un métayer d’un junker prussien. A l’âge de 18 ans, Munio part à Berlin et à Dessau pour aller rencontrer Walter Gropius, Kandinsky et Paul Klee au Bauhaus. En 1933, le Bauhaus est fermé par les nazis, qui accusent Munio de trahison envers le peuple allemand. Munio est emprisonné, puis expulsé à Bâle. Il part pour la Palestine. A son arrivée à Haïfa, il entame une carrière d’architecte et il adapte les principes européens modernistes au Moyen Orient.

Instead of written credits at the beginning of the film, Gitai reads out the credits, introduces himself to the viewer, and explains that Alila is based on the novel Returning Lost Love. The rest of the movie is made up of forty individual single shot scenes depicting the lives of several Israelis. The character's lives overlap and collide. Gabi, a bobbed haired sexpot, and her lover Hezi—who's older, balding and married—rent a room to have an affair, while Ezra, a pot bellied divorcee, supervises an illegal construction site next door. All this racket drives Schwartz, a Holocaust survivor, to a mental breakdown. Other characters include illegal immigrants, a teenage boy who's afraid to serve in the army, and a corrupt police officer. In each scene the camera moves through walls, over desks, and around rooms in order to keep focused on the character it's following, in moments of drama as well as in moments of mudane daily activity.

The police conduct a forensic analysis and uncover the remnants of cleaned blood stains, leading to the conclusion that Amy was murdered.
