Directed by:  Amos Gitai

Storyline:  Set in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War, when Egypt and Syria attacked in Sinai and the Golan Heights, the story follows Israeli soldiers Weinraub and his friend Ruso. What begins on quiet city streets soon descends into devastation, death, and psychological ruin. The film avoids traditional battle heroics, focusing instead on the rescue crews gathering the shattered remains. In surreal moments, Weinraub peers from a helicopter door, gazing with a kind of tranquil despair at the earth moving beneath the hypnotic rhythm of the blades.
