Who was the hero who stopped the Syrian tank at the gates of Degania, thus determining the fate of the War of Independence of Israel? The true story of five people claiming to be that hero, each of them is convinced that they are the ones who stopped the tank. The fight for credit between the five candidates, who come from five different areas of Israeli society, turns to a bigger battle over the myth on which Israel was founded.
But twenty-five years later, in the Yom Kippur War, the myth shatters. The personal-national rift leads the five protagonists to do some soul-searching, ranging from the tragic to the comic, between that which tears your heart out to the ridiculous, and between the pathetic and the sublime.
We wish to clarify that alongside the historical truth, the production incorporates characters, dialogues and events, which are a figment of our imagination.
