For Israelis, the ceasefire doesn’t mean war is over. This permanent threat hovers over daily life, as high officials pursue their declarations. For those who are born in war and raised to become warriors, silence is only a deceptive pause.

Declaration
film director
“Israel is, indeed, a country where war might break out while you are stuck in a traffic jam, an event that seems both natural and, at the same time, surprising to its citizens. Truce is a state of mind; it is living in constant alert and anxiety. Mixing documentary and fiction, I’m trying to see what the consequences of such life are. Are Israelis sentenced to lifetime war? Is it a matter of choice? Or is it a habit? A necessity passing from father to son? This film is the third part of a trilogy in which war is part of daily life. Its leading actors are people who are close to me. They are not high officials but ordinary citizens. Our mutual commitment makes them my first political interlocutors.”
