    • Synopsis
    • Israel 1973. Six years after the Six Day War, Menashe
      is still deeply traumatized by his experiences
      as a soldier. He withdraws from society and spends
      hours aimlessly driving around in his red pickup.
      His young wife Daphna and their 10-year old
      son Shlomi suffer under his silence and rejection.
      Daphna tries to get through to her husband and
      bring him back into the family. When the Yom Kippur War breaks out,
      Menashe has to go back into battle - and his life and family threaten
      to finally fall apart. A gripping story that goes back to the origins of
      medical treatment for a syndrome we now know as post-traumatic
      stress disorder and which has become part of the psychological canon.
