Spoilers ahead
Menachem [Aki Avni] is a handsome young soldier in the Israeli Defense Force, chosen to lead his own unit made up of fellow students from Rabbi Meltzer [Assi Dayan]‘s West Bank Yeshiva. His close friend Pini [Idan Alterman] stands out as one of the Yeshiva’s star scholars, and Rabbi Meltzer promises Pini his daughter Michal’s hand in marriage. Michal [Tinkerbell], strong-willed and independent, has no interest in marrying Pini, who is frail and in poor health. Instead, she falls for Menachem, and his loyalty to the Rabbi and to Pini is tested as he struggles to choose between Michal and the unit.
“This land of Israel is bought with pain,” says Michal, as she gazes out on the sandy mountains of the West Bank.
