Plot

[edit]

Set during the Second Lebanon War, the film follows Yoav (Yoel Rozenkier), who returns to his childhood kibbutz near the Israel-Lebanon border after a year of estrangement from his family. He comes to attend a memorial for his father, whose body had been donated to science a year earlier. Yoav's younger brother, Avishai (Micha Rozenkier), is a soldier about to be deployed to the northern front, but he exhibits signs of anxiety. Meanwhile, their eldest brother, Itai (Yonatan Rozenkier), takes it upon himself to toughen up Avishai, much to Yoav's disapproval. A former IDF officer, Yoav grapples with his own struggles with post-traumatic stress as the family navigates tensions heightened by the looming war.
