Avinoam and Barak, father and son from a Kibbutz near Gaza, are each facing another round of violence in their own way. While Avinoam insists on continuing his routine and his work in the field, Barak finds it difficult to close his eyes and continue as usual. One night, Barak reaches a boiling point and Avinoam is forced to absorb the flames.
