Those interested in the complexities of Israeli politics will be most in tune with this documentary exploration of the reaction that followed the assassination of leader Yitzhak Rabin in late 1995. The film's centerpiece is a three-part interview with Lea, Rabin's widow. This is interlaced with interviews with rock singer Aviv Geffen, the last person Rabin embraced, and military leaders Uri Simchoni and Avner Hakohen, both of whom served with Rabin in the 1973 war. Filmmaker Amos Gitai also offers his own personal insights and reactions as well as those from passerby.
