Synopsis
A coming of age story in which Yonatan, the main protagonist, is faced with confronting his recent experience in the army by asking a group of people questions relative to their own experience. Yonatan’s story is paralleled by a series of interviews with three separate people, each representing a different period that Yonatan experienced in relationship to the army: from enlistment, to active duty, to life after, as he faces the questions that his service provoked.
