Trailer Synopsis Cast

60-year-old Avinoam and his 25-year-old son Barak are two farmers from a kibbutz in southern Israel located near the fence that separates Gaza from Israel. When another round of combat approaches, Avinoam perseveres with his agricultural work, but Barak, suffering from military post-trauma, finds it difficult to close his eyes and carry on as usual. The director, Yahav Winner, was murdered in his home in Kibbutz Kfar Gaza on the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, in a massacre by Hamas terrorists, who broke the window of the family home. Winner blocked the window, and fought the terrorists in order to let his wife and one-month-old daughter escape.
