Danny Cornish, a sort of stateless man who arranges art exhibits, is called from Tel Aviv to Paris with the news that a great uncle has died, in Birobidjan, the autonomous Jewish zone in Russia, leaving him a valuable art collection and the hand of a huge sculpture of a Golem. The uncle's will instructs Danny to find the rest of the statue, so Danny, who speaks no Russian, embarks on a trip that takes him (and the Golem's hand) to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Siberia, fumbling with hotel clerks, taxi drivers, and bureaucrats, following leads, and making discoveries about myth, story telling, art, and hope.

In a heavy atmosphere, the young and charming sailor Querelle lands in Brest. The harbor becomes the stage for a morbidly fascinating game where love-hate relationships thrive, with Querelle as both game-master and pawn. Inspired by Jean Genet&#x27;s work, &quot;Querelle de Brest&quot;, the film is as bizarre and spell-binding as the novel.
