The film tells the story of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's unexpected rise to power and his dramatic fall from grace, from the highest office in the land to Ward 10 at Maasiyahu Prison. Set as a political thriller, it follows the incredible events that elevated Mr. Olmert to power and set the stage for his epic fall, creating a portrait of a multi-faceted man and providing a behind-the-scenes look at the mechanisms and machinations that control politics, justice, war and peace.
