"The Boy Who Painted a Donkey Blue" is a coming-of-age film set against the tumultuous backdrop of Jewish history at the turn of the twentieth century. It is based on Nachum Gutman's stories and paintings. It follows the journey of Nachum, a boy growing up in Jaffa during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the arrival of the British.

The film narrates Nachum's life from an eight-year-old boy to a courageous fifteen-year-old, navigating a complex cultural landscape. Through episodic storytelling, reminiscent of Fellini’s "Amarcord," the film introduces a host of colorful characters. These include Doctor Hissin, who rides a white donkey and carries a black umbrella, Mahmoud, the wealthy barber of Jaffa, Weiss, the clockmaker with dreams of building a modern city shaped like clock gears, and the corrupt Turkish Minister of Police.

These vivid characters and their tales paint a rich, evocative picture of a young boy's coming of age in a city caught between cultures and history. "The Boy Who Painted a Donkey Blue" offers a unique blend of historical narrative and personal growth, making it a compelling story for international audiences.
