A battle from the first century is re-enacted, with Hebrews fighting off an invading Roman army. These are the first scenes of a cascade of images that explore the themes of war and violence in Israeli history: the 1973 Yom Kippur War; today's terrorism and violence; the everyday conflicts that are less aggressive but equally telling; and the role of the media in feeding a culture of brutality and reprisal.

Lullaby to my father

Amos Gitai tells the story of his father, Munio Weinraub, who was a student at the Bauhaus design and architecture school in the city of Dessau, before Hitler closed the school in 1933.
