A grieving father faces the absurd circumstances around his son’s death in this critical reflection on Israeli military culture, which portrays grief and soldiering as an inescapable date with destiny.
After army officials show up at their home with the gut-wrenching news of his son’s death, Michael becomes increasingly frustrated by overzealous mourning relatives and well-meaning army bureaucrats. While his sedated wife rests, Michael spirals into a whirlwind of anger only to experience one of life’s unfathomable twists—which can only be rivaled by the surreal military experiences of his son.
