Synopsis

Summer 1982. With the war raging in Lebanon, 13 year-old Gal works as a postman in a village emptied of men because almost all the male inhabitants have been conscripted to fight at the front. On his daily rounds he meets Haya, a 19 year-old girl suffering from serious heart disease, who finds comfort in writing and receiving letters from the soldiers. Only one soldier, the one who happens to write the most beatiful letters, doesn’t send her his photo. The touching character of Haya enchants Gal, who becomes increasingly involved in her life. While she anxiously awaits the photo of the soldier, whom she has never met, Gal realizes that he has found his first love. He shares Haya’s heartbreak and decide to try to join the soldier at camp in order to get the guy’s picture and personally bring it to the girl who is set to undergo a very delicate operation.
