It follows a couple on a trip through the country and begins with their arrival at Lod Airport aboard an El Al flight. First they visit the city of Nazareth, where an Arab guide shows them around the ancient marketplace. Then they visit Eilat and visit the Dead Sea and the beach. This is followed by their flight back to Tel Aviv, where they enjoy the nightlife. Finally, they visit Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee and enjoy the natural scenery. (The film does not show Jerusalem, apparently because in the time it was made it was difficult for tourists to visit.) The film presents Israel as a somewhat “exotic” yet familiar enough destination, making for an enjoyable stay for Americans wanting to visit. 0:09 “Follow the Sun to Israel”, narration Harold Steinberg, produced and directed by Lasar Dunner, 0:40 a plane flying, 1:02 a flight attendant preparing the cabin for landing, 1:10 a couple sitting in their seats, 1:22 El Al Type 175 Britannia landing and being prepared for disembarkation at Lod Airport, 2:01 couple walks to the terminal, 2:13 couple steps out of a car at Accadia Grand Hotel, 2:36 couple looking at the Mediterranean, 2:49 wife tries on different pairs of sunglasses, 3:13 a child in a stroller, 3:29 the couple sitting at a café, 4:34 the couple at the tourist information office, 5:14 couple renting a red car, 5:38 car drives down scenic and changing roads, 6:53 an overview of Nazareth, 7:07 the couple walking through the marketplace with their Arab guide, 8:23 the couple eating hummus in a restaurant, 8:47 couple sitting in their hotel and writing photo postcards, 9:24 the couple having drinks at the hotel bar, 10:04 Tel Aviv and the Negev as seen from an airplane window, 10:28 El Al DC-3 landing in Eilat, 11:11 people sitting at the beach and swimming, 11:31 husband gets into the water and his wife takes a picture, 12:01 couple sitting at a bar, 12:20 different signs for bars in Tel Aviv, 12:43 inside of a bar with people dancing, 13:31 men playing guitars while the whole bar sings along and the couple tries to join, 14:46 people enjoying different activities on Shabbat including row boating, tennis, and being at the beach, 15:26 Tiberias with the Sea of Galilee in the background, 16:09 ruins of Roman baths, 16:37 a café on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, 17:19 husband takes a photo of his wife with the Sea of Galilee in the background, 17:39 husband and wife picking flowers, 18:05 couple taking one last look back at the terminal before boarding their El Al flight to leave.
