This is Avi Nesher's fifth film, it recreates the actions of the Jerusalem Lehi cell in March 1942, shortly after the murder of "Yair" by the British mandate authorities.
Real events were recreated, such as the distribution of leaflets, the kidnapping and murder of Alex Rubovitz, a military trial and execution by hanging, an underground broadcast, an attempt on the life of a British commander, and others.
For the production of the film, the details of that period were carefully restored: the basement apartments with almost no furniture in which the underground lived, the headquarters of the British police, the lifestyle and clothes in Jerusalem in the 1940s, Lehi posters, British army uniforms brought specially from England, military trucks and weapons of that period.
[2] The film pays considerable attention to explaining the motives of the rebels, whose goal was to fight the treacherous, in their opinion, policy of the British authorities, which prevented the escape and rescue of Jews from the Holocaust in Europe.
The explosives are being prepared by "Pinocchio" (Tovia Gelber) and should explode when the command vehicle enters the fortified base.
The explosive fails to detonate, the plan goes awry, however the fighter Alex (Dudu Yafet) still desperately opens fire, followed by the rest of the attackers.
"Pinocchio" manages to escape to the apartment of his girlfriend Yael (Segal Cohen), who takes care of him and cheers him up.
Her father eventually decides to sell his factory and emigrate to the United States, and Angela informs Noah that she must leave with her parents.
