Start New Game
17-year-old Gil hates his life in the village he lives in. He lives with his Father, Avishai, and his 10-year-old brother, Yuval, who he blames for their parents’ divorce. He dreams of joining the army as a combatant, as an excuse to escape his life. One night, the brothers have an ugly fight about a video game. Yuval, upset by Gil’s words, decides to run away from home. Gil and his father Avishai embark on a journey, searching for the missing brother. In this coming-of-age journey for Gil, he also learns to take responsibility for his actions and discovers new sides to his relationship with his father.
