Every Saturday a group of elderly women and men carry plastic lawn chairs across the Mount Herzl National Cemetery in Jerusalem. In the shade of an old pine tree, they sit in a circle and discuss various matters. For over two decades, the “Mt. Herzl Academy” has held its weekly meeting at this cemetery. Seated between the graves of the nation’s dignitaries, they debate the history of modern philosophy, read poetry, eat lunch and determine the fate of the Jewish nation. The film reveals the intense, almost impossible, relationship between the members as death decimates the group that has given meaning to their lives and explores the conflicts and the family secrets that haunt them. The result is a poignant, intimate, sometimes hilarious portrait of the Holocaust generation as never seen before.
