One night at a bar, an old friend tells director Ari about a recurring nightmare in which he is chased by 26 vicious dogs. Every night, the same number of beasts. The two men conclude that there's a connection to their Israeli Army mission in the first Lebanon War of the early eighties. Ari is surprised that he can't remember a thing anymore about that period of his life. Intrigued by this riddle, he decides to meet and interview old friends and comrades around the world. He needs to discover the truth about that time and about himself. As Ari delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, his memory begins to creep up in surreal images. |

First of all if your uncomfortable with war, nudity, blood, and somewhat political things, then this is not the movie for you. However if you are okay with that, then this is actually a very good movie. The animation has been done very well. It tells the tragic story of Lebanon veterans and their stories of corruption, abandonment, and self hate for the actions they took during said war through very descriptive flashbacks and dreams. The parts that are more of an interview aren't quite as interesting, but overall it was entertaining to watch ( read more)

The parts that are more of an interview aren't quite as interesting, but overall it was entertaining to watch (except the very end which was somewhat hard to watch due to various reasons). The conversations between the different characters is also very interesting. Overall I have to say this is a good watch and will broaden your views on war. ( show less)
