Lebanon / Samuel Maoz

The First Lebanon War – June, 1982. A lone tank is dispatched to search a hostile town that has already been bombarded by the Israel Air Force. What seems to be a simple mission gets gradually out of control and turns into a death trap, a shivering nightmare. Shmulik the gunner, Assi the commander, Herzl the loader and Yigal the driver are the tank’s crew. Four boys aged 20 plus who are operating a killing machine. They are not fighters, eager for battle, conquest or self-sacrifice. Entangled in the absurd and unfair nets of war, they are terrified to death by its horrors. Lebanon is a personal film; a film about four boys who had never been involved in anything violent before and found themselves killing people; a film about survival against a palpable threat of death; a situation in which the conflict between their basic instincts and human conscience claims its victims.
