This project brings about the involvement of the local Ofakim community in the various arts media: staging, acting, and photography. One of the main scenes of the film depicts a group of youths and lasses standing motionless in a deserted factory. They then move out to landscapes and sites near Ofakim: fields cultivated by the Kibbutzim, the Hatzerim and Ze'elim military bases, the desert. The youngsters march with a missile in what seems an endless and pointless Sisyphean march.
