Boys Life 5 consists of the following segments: "Fishbelly White" chronicles the rural isolation of childlike Duncan (Mickey Smith), who's been lonely since his mother's death.

Because his care-worn father ignores him, Duncan befriends the farm animals and adopts a chicken as his pet.

Abused by his own father, an older adolescent named Perry (Jason Hayes) takes a shine to the outcast.

In a bivouac, sensitive Yonatan (Hanoch Re'im) wonders why gung-ho Lieutenant Erez (Gil Frank) picks on him.

In "Dare," Ben (Adam Fleming), a teenage techie, shines a spotlight on Johnny (Michael Cassidy), a jock stumbling through the lead in the school play.
