Three Israeli high school students go on a class trip to Poland to visit the Holocaust memorial site. It is their last time together before a stint in the army. Between visiting concentration camp sites and memorials to the victims, the shy Frisch, the artist Nitzan, and the class Romeo, Ido, face typical teenage problems and fears, while grappling with past trauma and identity issues. The film premiered at the Berlinale, and won Best Film in Youth Category at the festival in Zlín.
