This film is a bit of a "documentary within a documentary" as Mr. Mograbi is hired by a producer to do a film on Israel's 50th anniversary celebration. After one check is cut and filming begins, high unemployment figures come out in the press.

Shot in the Occupied Territories by Israeli director Avi Mograbi, this controversial documentary film draws parallels between the Israeli - Palestinian situation today and the enduring myths of Samson and Masada. Mograbi offers a powerful, at times chilling, lament of the continuing cycles of violence rooted in the past and threatening to engulf everyone's future. With the roots of so much real-world conflict left unexamined by today's restless media, this film reminds us just how vital filmmakers like Avi Mograbi are. Documentary today is rarely immersed in questions of this magnitude - or tackles them with the level of eloquence shown here by Mograbi. An exceptional and challenging film.

The heart of the film is the original videotaped reconstructions of the murder performed by the defendants in which they admit their guilt.

Giora (Assi Dayan) runs a bar and dreams of opening a restaurant. He has made a mess of his life — his marriage is in trouble, since he is pathologically cheating on his wife; his parents (Yosef Millo and Orna Porat) have separated; and his father arrives for an extended visit from Nahariya. Giora spends time with his army buddies, recalling their experiences during the War in Lebanon. His father is undergoing a major life crisis and finds both the loneliness of the city and his son's lifestyle unappealing.

Avi Mograbi documents an Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers’ theatre workshop taking place in an immigration detention centre. In the process, he posits a flurry of questions: What leads men and women to upend their lives and embark on a journey into the unknown? Why does Israel, a country founded by and for refugees, refuse to consider the status of those who have fled war, genocide, and persecution in their native countries, as the mandated by the Refugee Convention? And are Israelis, who work with the asylum seekers, capable of walking a mile in their shoes and relating to their predicament?
