The film explores the lives of a block's deputy head and a handful of survivors, navigating their haunting pasts and the complexities of starting anew in a fledgling Israel. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of their experiences to settle, and the atmosphere is heavy with the remnants of trauma.
