In the follow-up to his debut feature, award-winning filmmaker Samuel Maoz (Lebanon) tells the story of upper-class Israeli couple Michael (Lior Ashkenazi) and Dafna (Sarah Adler), who experience gut-wrenching grief when army officials show up at their home to announce the death of their son Jonathan in the line of duty. 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 – a twist that can only be rivaled by the surreal military experiences of his son. Shifting from the domestic drama of his grieving parents, the film reveals the remote military post where Jonathan was stationed and the consequences of tedium, privation, and loneliness on young soldiers.
