The film follows a class of second-graders from a Tel Aviv elementary school throughout the school year.  The diverse backgrounds of these children collide as the Gaza War reeks havoc on the dynamics of the classroom.

"With poignant intuition and uninhibited directness, unique to eight-year olds, the children point out basic conflicts in Israeli society, deal with painful identity issues, and experience the first cracks in their childhood naivety.

This film is shown in memory of Earl Lefkowitz z"l
