Ehud Barak is one of the most controversial figures in Israeli politics, venerated by some, loathed by others. Admired for his analytic abilities, but criticized for the tremendous military and diplomatic risks he took, such as the attempt to assassinate Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, or the failed effort to put an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this film, Barak observes with disillusioned clarity his own history and the history of the State Israel.
