I didn't expect the film to be a documentary. I didn't expect that an animated documentary feature can be as powerful. In this film, the director recounts his experiences and searches for his lost memories (through other veterans) as a 19-year-old soldier in the 1982 Lebanon war.
The subject of war is truly devastating, and that's well-captured in this film, either by showing scenes of devastation or by listening to the stories of those who are being interviewed by the director. The film is a visual accomplishment and it's story telling is engaging.
