In Israel, military service is compulsory for most people over the age of 18, with men serving three years and women two.Exemption from military service is a hotly debated issue in Israeli society. Many feel that military service is a matter of family obligation and loyalty to their 'homeland'.For some, joining the army is about the connections they make.For many, life in Israel - with its military conscription and occupation - is turning young people into what one Israeli interviewee describes as "monsters in a distorted reality", revealing deep psychological issues which remain unaddressed.The film reveals this agitation in Israel, at times manifesting itself through exodus, which is the very opposite of the Zionist dream.
