This movie is a little different, for it draws the audience's attention to the meltdown in a family, which represents the Israeli society, when there is a terrorist bombing and Israeli soldiers are killed in it. The story centers around a family that fears their son, who is a soldier, has been killed in a terrorist attack. It does not deal with politics. It shows the strains and stresses that occur in an average family, faced losing their son. It's ending brings tears to one's eyes. However, it teaches something about living with terrorism. It is dramatic, and realistic. (The movie is in Hebrew, so if you are not willing to read subtitles, don't watch it.)

The family as a microcosm for Israeli society under strain

Israeli Life at its best
Amit-830 January 2000
It's been only one hour since I watched this drama, and I still haven't fully understood its meaning. It gives the Israeli life in 1994 at its fullest. Bergor's movie catches the fear of the death during the terrorist attacks of that period. One of the best dramas I've ever seen.
