Yonatan Shamriz

[2] On October 7, when a surprise attack began on the settlements in the encirclement, Shamriz barricaded himself with his pregnant wife and two-year-old daughter in the safe room for more than 20 hours.

He met with leaders in Israel and around the world, including speaking at the United States Congress, to exert diplomatic pressure on the terrorist organization Hamas to release the hostages.

[1] Alon was called up for reserve duty on the morning of October 7 along with his comrades in the Yahalom unit, and his family therefore demanded that he be recognized as an IDF fallen soldier.

The film focuses on Yonatan, who is the eldest brother, and documents his journey with the family in an attempt to secure Alon's release, including participation in demonstrations and meetings with various parties in Israel and around the world.

The story reaches a crisis point upon receiving the news of Alon's death, and ends with the circumcision ceremony of Yonatan's son, which was held three weeks later.

In his speech, Shamriz called for the establishment of a national commission of inquiry, for the return of the hostages, and for the building and repair of the state by the new generation that emerged from the fracture of the October 7 attack.
