An Israeli soldier attempts to unlock his memories of the war in Lebanon. He visits an old friend and fellow soldier in Holland in the hopes he will help. A series of interviews with other soldiers provides the narrative for flashbacks to the war. In particular, a massacre at a refugee camp holds much importance. Real footage of the aftermath of the massacre replaces the animation for the ending. Some occasionally haunting imagery, but it lacks a narrative focus and the animation is a bit clunky.
