June 6, 1982. Israeli armed forces enter Lebanon in the First Lebanon War. How is the event seen by four Israeli recruits reduced to the extremely limited perspective of a tank’s peephole? The 20-year-olds are dispatched to search a hostile town—a simple mission that turns into a nightmare.

Winner of the Golden Lion and described as “Das Boot in a tank,” this gripping, claustrophobic, ingenious war film sprung from the writer/director’s own experiences in the Lebanon War. Few films put the audience so squarely, so viscerally, so unforgettably in the center of the action.
