Sinai Desert, 1973. When a desolate Israeli outpost comes under siege after a surprise Egyptian attack, the surviving soldiers must choose between following their idealistic commander into a final, hopeless battle, or going along with the unit’s newly arrived doctor (Michael Aloni – Shtisel, Plan A, And Then She Arrived), whose plan may save them, but will come at a cost unfathomable to the men and all that they hold true.  Based on true events during the Yom Kippur War.
