Spoilers ahead
In an isolated forest in Israel, three playful children engage in a joyful game of hide-and-seek, their giggles and ensuing shouts muffled by the dense foliage surrounding them. One little girl, blissfully unaware of the threat lurking nearby, seeks refuge in an abandoned house. Tragically, her moment of safety turns into a nightmare as she is suddenly captured by a shadowy figure. The relentless Detective Micki quickly directs suspicion towards Dror, a well-regarded schoolteacher, and arrests him despite the lack of any solid evidence. During this ordeal, Dror finds himself subjected to intense psychological pressure from Detective Micki’s team, while a bystander records the harrowing events on their smartphone, unwittingly uploading them to YouTube for all to witness.
