In 1999, as Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon nears its breaking point, renowned Israeli architect Yacov Rechter is commissioned to design a monument honoring fallen soldiers of the Christian South Lebanon Army. His idealistic son, and successor, Amnon challenges him to build something radically different: a memorial for all victims of the war -- Christian and Muslim alike. As father and son clash over loyalty, complicity, and art, their creative journey mirrors that of a nation divided, and the monument becomes a haunting symbol of a peace that never lasts.
