Synopsis
Yaron is one of an elite group of police officers working in an anti-terrorist unit in the Israeli police force. He and his fellow officers are the ultimate defense against the ”Arab enemy”. Yaron loves the unit and its male camaraderie. He also loves his wife, who is soon to give birth. His encounter with a radical, violent group turns his life upside down, confronting him not only with the Israeli class war but also his own inner conflicts. –Locarno Film Festival

Another great film from Israel's contemporary cinema: profound, sharp and funny through its very precise formal and thematic strategies!
