Overview

Devastated by the death of his older brother at the hands of a Palestinian suicide bomber, Elon, a simpleminded Yeshiva student, joins an underground Jewish terrorist cell in East Jerusalem to exact his revenge. Soon after his arrival at the group's secret hideout, Elon is reunited with Sasha, Russian bombmaker and former crony to his older brother, who is calmly wiring the explosive device they will use in the morning. However, when the group's charismatic leader – Avram - arrives, Elon slowly puts together the disturbing details of their impending reprisal attack: the target is an elementary school. Caught between his desire for revenge and to remain a good Jew, Elon chooses a course of action that will forever alter the lives of everyone involved.
