A group of Israeli students visit Nazi concentration camps in Poland in this unusual and sensitive coming-of-age film.

A so-called delegation of young Israelis travels to Poland to visit concentration camps built by the Germans. Among them are the somewhat shy Frisch, the artistically ambitious Nitzan and the heartthrob Ido, each of whom brings their own story to the historical memorial. It is the end of their school time together, military service is imminent. And so, against the backdrop of the central Jewish catastrophe of the 20th century, a triangular story of love, friendship and politics unfolds. - With impressive empathy and seriousness, this coming-of-age film delves into the feelings, thoughts, longings and fears of its teenage protagonists. We gain profound insight into their conflicts and the bond that unites them. By the end of the journey, all three will have become different people than they were at the outset.
