"SYNOPSIS

The First Lebanon War, June, 1982. A lone tank and a platoon of paratroopers are dispatched
to search a hostile town that has been bombarded by the Israeli Air Force. The mission gets out
of control and turns into a death trap. Night falls and the wounded troops remain trapped in the
center of a town in ruins, unable to communicate with the central command and surrounded by
Syrian commandos closing in on all sides. The film’s heroes are the tank crew: Shmulik the gunner,
Assi the commander, Herzl the loader and Yigal the driver, four 20 year old boys, operating a killing machine.
They are not courageous war heroes, eager for battle or self-sacrifice. All they have is a terrible fear of death."

Very interesting.

I can see that almost the whole movie was shot inside of a tank that is actually the main

place of the film story according to the 66'th Venice Film Festival page>>>
