We are on Bus No. 2, on an Israeli high-school trip to Poland’s Holocaust sites. Put on your bus-headphones and join a young teacher who has made one senseless decision: to spend an entire week with 37 horny seventeen-year-olds who have never heard of deodorant. But that’s only the beginning. As buried traumas begin to surface, the trip spirals towards its grim, inevitable end. A hyper-realistic headphone soundscape puts us inside the teacher’s head, drawing us deeper into an endless web of private and national traumas.
