This dramatic fiction is an incredible history based on the true story of the son of a German official of Wehrmacht, who was recognized for his bravery in the Second World War. It is the story of the son who converted to Judaism, abandoned Germany and went to Israel to become an Israeli citizen, and whose participation in the Liberian War and confrontation with the Palestinians place him in the same situation that his father must have experienced 40 years earlier, the type of dilemma that every soldier must face: Are all orders licit and should they always be obeyed? What is the limit of proper obedience? Does military discipline deprive the soldier of his moral and ethical views? Does all responsibility depend on the highest level of military hierarchy or is it shared by the intermediaries? This story confirms what the Greeks already knew: no one can avoid his own destiny. Regardless of what we do, it always finds us.
