A group of close friends celebrate the bittersweet changes coming to their lives during the summer of their high-school graduation: adult responsibilities, adult romance -- and the soberingly adult fact that some of their number are being drafted into the Israeli army. This has very much the feel of a high-school beach-party movie -- with music, and in Hebrew -- until a sudden and disturbingly realistic reminder of their own mortality finally slashes through the kids' cheerful, close-knit obliviousness.

This human drama centers around two loner Russian soldiers who are caught smuggling arms and consequently arrested. The two characters do not want to lose their honor as soldiers even though they have committed a crime considered unforgivable in military society and want go through an honorable military trial. The military is not at all concerned with their wishes, and pushes to get them tried as civilians. This causes conflicts that send the story towards an unexpected direction.

Just as he is about to go on a date, Obadiah decides to take his barber’s advice and leave his moustache on. En route from the barbershop to seeing his date, he realises that his concerns were, in fact, very much with merit; for in Israel, a moustache is the symbol of the enemy. An endearing little comedy with an absolutely addictive soundtrack, which offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the various facets and manifestations of Israeli racism.
