Here Mograbi focuses on interviewing a young man who was a member of an elite army unit sent on a revenge mission with orders to kill Palestinian policemen in retaliation for the killing of Israelis. The former soldier understandably demands not to have his face shown on camera, and this presents a problem: how can he wear a stocking cap or hood for an entire feature film? Mograbi experiments with various solutions until he settles on a computer-generated digital mask that alters the facial features of the soldier and his girlfriend, while they discuss what happened that fatal night on the West Bank.
