Circumstances swell, and Yaron faces something he never imagined; the prospect of the very sort of evil he works to eliminate taking on the form of his beloved Israeli countrymen. For the sake of his team, his expectant wife, and himself, he must hold himself together and perform his duties...Director Nadav Lapid made several short films during his studies in the Sam Spiegel Film School, which were screened in Cannes, Berlin and Locarno.
