The documentary addresses the issue of militarization and its impact on the lives of young Israelis who are forced to enlist right out of high school. Through the soldiers’ diaries and family videos, the film bears witness to their personal maturation process, conditioned by a warmongering indoctrination from early childhood to military enlistment.

Born in Jaffa, acclaimed Israeli filmmaker Guy Davidi, has been making films since a young age. After evading the Israeli army Davidi started to make films focusing on highly charged political issues with a deeply emotional tone and an innovative approach. His most known film 5 BROKEN CAMERAS, co-directed with Palestinian Emad Burnat, was nominated to the Oscar in 2012 and won an Emmy for Best Documentary in 2013.
