Synopsis<\/h3>\n

At dawn after a combat mission in the Gaza Strip, Shlomi Aharonov, an 18-year-old infantry soldier in the Golani Brigade, runs away from his unit and the troops. His route first takes him to his parents’ house in the settlement of Sde Uziel in the countryside. He does not meet his parents. When soldiers appear in front of the house, apparently to look for his parents, Shlomi flees on a bicycle. He eventually arrives in Tel Aviv on a military bus, in which he can travel undetected, where he visits his girlfriend Shiri at work.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]When Shlomi learns that the military leadership is convinced that he has been kidnapped in the chaos of war, he hides not only from the soldiers he believed were after him, but from his own identity, which has become a trap. Despite his parents’ pleas to return to his unit before it is too late, Shlomi takes a desperate risk for love – with dramatic consequences.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”106380″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=””]
\nThis tragic-comic journey, which takes place over a 24-hour period in the hot and humid streets of Tel Aviv, alternates from horror to hope, from romance to nightmare.
