Plot

Sacha and Laura, who have been living on a kibbutz in Israel near the Syrian border for two years, are visited by three friends from Paris - Simon, Michel, and Paul - who have come to celebrate Laura's twentieth birthday. One of the friends, Simon, is obsessed by the death of the girl he loved. During the birthday celebration, he tries to find amongst his friends someone to blame for his love's death.
