Shlomi, an 18-year-old soldier, flees the battlefield in Gaza and makes his way back to his girlfriend.

When Shlomi discovers that the military elite are convinced he was kidnapped during the fog of war, he is no longer hiding from the soldiers he believed were chasing after him but from his own identity, which has become a trap.

This is a tragic-comic journey, taking place over a period of 24 hours on the hot and humid streets of Tel Aviv, shifting from terror to hope, from romance to a nightmare.
