Growing up in Israel means going to the army. This film follows four best friends from high school through their entire army service.
Tha a bhith a' fàs suas ann an Israel a' ciallachadh beatha san arm. Chan e ceist a th' ann, 's e lagh a th' ann. An uair a tha thu a ruighinn ochd bliadhna deug, 's e saighdear no neach-trèigsinn a th' annad. Tha e cho sìmplidh sin. Tha am fiolm a' leantainn ceathrar charaidean san àrd-sgoil tron àm aca san arm. Thairis air na trì bliadhna de sheirbheis, tha na balaich ag ionnsachadh a bhith nan saighdearan; tha iad cuideachd ag ionnsachadh a bhith nan ceannardan, ag obair anns na Occupied Territories agus tha iad a' tighinn an lùib dhuilgheadasan a thaobh faireachdainnean agus creideamhan na dùthcha a tha a' ciallachadh gu bheil iad a' call earbsa san arm.
Growing up in Israel means going to the army. It is not a question, it is the law. Once you turn 18, you are a soldier or a deserter - it's as simple as that. The film follows four best friends from high school through their entire army service. Over three years of service the boys are transformed into soldiers: they become commanders, serve in the occupied territories and are confronted with ideological and emotional conflicts that lead them to lose all faith in the army and finally grow up.
