As the IDF prepares for its withdrawal from Lebanon, during a period of uncertainty and rising tensions along the northern front, the devoted officer Malkishua, his deputy, and his Arab driver, Mustafa Al Nine Eleven, who suffers from PTSD and cynophobia, set out on a mission to find a mysterious weapon that could determine the fate of the northern front. The three are sent on a complex journey that takes them beyond the boundaries of a routine military operation, through hostile territory, unclear orders, and unexpected situations. But before they can get their hands on the weapon that could change the course of the conflict, they must complete one unexpected task: find a Yemenite soldier.
