Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Seven years after completing the Israel Defense Force (IDF) training for female combat soldiers, the director returns to the place where, for the first time, she fell in love with a woman - her commanding officer. Over the course of 66 days and nights, this documentary follows the teenage girls in one of the IDF's most rigorous combat courses and looks at the relationships that develop between girls in an environment subject to strict military code. Baby-faced teen recruits, like discipline-prone Yarden, transform into combat-ready soldiers by day and cry for their parents by night. The film reveals the mechanism that enables the transformation of 18-year-olds from "daddy's little girls" into fierce disciplined soldiers. Through the intimate relationship that develops between the director and one of the protagonists, questions about identity, sexuality and the discovery of femininity surface.
