DARK NIGHT
An Israeli military jeep, returning to base from patrol late at night, strikes a landmine while still in hostile territory. Two of the soldiers survive the blast only to be trapped in a Palestinian town teeming with militants. They seek refuge in the nearest house, inhabited by a Palestinian couple.
As the night progresses and the situation becomes more desperate, the soldiers discover something about the couple, which may lead to a solution.
