Makom be-gan eden

A young officer returns to his base following a bold mission. The cook’s assistant, a devout Holocaust survivor, feels envious of him. He believes that the courageous officer, who risks his life for his fellow Jews, has a guaranteed spot in heaven. However, the officer, embodying the secular Zionist spirit, is a non-believer. At that moment, driven by hunger, he agrees to trade his assured place in heaven to the cook for a plate of shakshuka. Fast forward forty years to the present day of the film, and the situation has changed dramatically. The officer, now a retired general, lies on his deathbed in a hospital. His son, much to his father’s dismay, has embraced religion and is racing against time. He must locate the cook’s assistant who, decades ago, acquired his father’s heavenly place. The son needs to annul the contract before his father passes away, or else his father will be condemned to hell.
