In 2000, the 18-year-long armed conflict in South Lebanon is drawing to a close. Demolitionist Amoz (Ami Weinberg) is sent to Fort Beaufort, a fortress built during the 12th century Crusades, to defuse bombs. Outpost commander Riraz (Oshri Cohen) causes dissatisfaction among the sentries with his arrogant attitude and orders to force Amoz to defuse bombs regardless of danger, especially a sentry named Kress (Itay Tiran). At the same time, rumors spread among the army that Israel is about to withdraw its troops from Fort Beaufort, while the missile offensive of Hezbollah in Lebanon is getting stronger day by day. As his comrades died one after another, Liraz's mental state became increasingly depressed... The film won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, four major awards from the Israel Film Institute for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Sound Effects, and was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and received six nominations from the Israel Film Institute for Best Picture, Best Actor (Osri Cohen), Best Director (Joseph Star), Best Screenplay, Best Costumes, and Best Music.
