FeatureTwo survivors of an ambushed Israeli patrol, one of whom is badly wounded, take refuge in a house near Nablus. In the house, the Israeli soldiers find an Arab man and his wife. Both the wounded Israeli and the Arab woman desperately need medical assistance, but to summon it would reveal the soldiers’ presence and hence imperil the lives of both Israelis. Suspense mounts in this tautly directed film noir.
