With the 1996 Israeli election campaign approaching, Avi Mograbi sets out to make a film about the at once infamous and admired political figure, former cabinet minister and legendary army general Arik (Ariel) Sharon. Having refused, on moral and political grounds, to serve in the 1982 Lebanon campaign initiated by (then defence minister) Sharon, Mograbi has a "personal" bias in the subject of his film. But, in the course of making his documentary, Mograbi's attitudes seem to change. To his surprise, he finds Sharon immensely likable. As the election campaign progresses, Mograbi sets aside his normally left wing politics and gets surprisingly close to Sharon, even, incongruously, finding himself dancing in a right wing rally in support of Benjamin Netanyahu. Mograbi's wife Tammi, who is always around to support him and to correct him, thinks he has lost his political and moral senses. The making of the documentary turns into a domestic melodrama. Mograbi dreamed he could "remake" Sharon but it was he who was in danger of being "remade"...

"An excellent film, profound and ironic... an acrobatic film and a singularly clever one." -- Yoram Bronovsky (Ha'Aretz)
