1973年10月6日。在犹太历法的最神圣的一天：赎罪日，以埃及和叙利亚为首的阿拉伯国家发动了突袭，几乎占领了以色列。 这个故事是通过三个人物的眼光讲述的，他们的生命被抛入了战斗的中心，其令人陶醉的，令人上瘾的效果以及荒诞的感觉。

  October 6, 1973. Arab states led by Egypt and Syria launched a surprise invasion and nearly overran Israel during the holiest day of the Jewish calendar: Yom Kippur. The story is told through the eyes of three characters, whose lives were thrown into the heart of battle and its intoxicating, addictive effects as well as its absurdities.
