What happens

Shalom is a 1973 Israeli film, marking the first feature film by director Yaki Yosha who also wrote and stars in it. Hailed by critics as "the first and probably last Israeli hippie film", the film attempts to answer the dilemmas and distresses Israeli youth in the pre-Yom Kippur War. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
