Yaron is police officer in an elite anti-terrorist unit of the Israeli police force. He and his fellow officers are the ultimate defence against the "Arab enemy". Yaron loves the unit and its male comraderie. He also loves his wife, who is about to give birth. His encounter with Shira, a a young woman involved with a group of radical and violent Israeli activists turns his life upside down, confronting him not only with Israeli class warfare but also with his own inner conflicts. A showdown is inevitable.
"Exciting from the first to the last moment."
