    • Synopsis
    • BEAUFORT tells the true story of 22-year-old commander Liraz Liberti and his troops in the months before Israel pulled out of Lebanon. Theirs is a story not of war, but of retreat. Of no enemy; only an amorphous entity that sends bombs through the skies onto terrified young soldiers who must find a way to carry out their mission of safeguarding the outpost bearing the name of the Crusader fortress on that majestic mountaintop. As Liraz lays the explosives which would destroy what his men had died defending, he witnesses not only the collapse of all he's been taught as an officer, but his soldiers - mental and physical disintegration as well.
