A family is suffering from an overgrowing debt which led to a deep depression of the father. Two brothers feel that they can’t just stand on the sidelines while their family falls apart. Up until now they were helpless, but now with Yaki’s enlistment to the army, like every other 18-year-old Israeli boy, he is given a rifle. Shaul, the youngest, follows Dafna, a girl from a good, wealthy family, home after school. They seem to have the perfect plan. This rifle gives them the power they need to act and from helpless teenagers they can finally become men. But every plan has a flaw. (A. P.)
