Synopsis

Avner (59), a respected member of a right-wing religious settlement, managed to get his daughter Abigail’s name on the community’s memorial list despite her having committed suicide, a violation of a tenet of Judaism that forced her to be buried outside the settlement cemetery. Hanan (29, Ex-religious), Avner’s son, is accused of causing a soldier’s fatal injury as part of his extreme leftist organization. Avner releases Hanan on bail, hiding his presence until reporters expose the secret, sparking protests from the congregation members. Ronit, Avner’s wife, leaves with their children. Avner and Hanan face isolation and accusation by the community that demands Hanan’s departure or Abigail will be removed from the list of “the respected fallen”. Avner takes a stand and expands the cemetery fence with a hoe. Hanan joins him but he gets arrested for activating his electronic handcuff. Avner insists on going with him, finding solace in their unity as they sit in the car, while the extended fence of the cemetery is behind them.
