Six years after returning from the Six Day War with PTSD, Menashe realizes he will never be the man he was before the war. He can’t communicate with his surroundings, and spends his days driving around aimlessly in his red truck. The young family he created collapses due to his inability to communicate with his wife, Daphna, and their young son, Shlomi.
At a time when PTSD is still not recognized as a medical condition, Daphna struggles to get help from the military in order to hold on to her husband’s last bits of sanity, while 10 year-old Shlomi tries to understand what happened to his father and why he is different.
