The film takes place in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War in which Egypt and Syria launched attacks in Sinai and the Golan Heights. The story is told from the perspective of Israeli soldiers. We are led by Weinraub and his friend Ruso on a day that begins with quiet city streets, but ends with death, destruction and devastation of both body and mind. Various scenes are awash in the surreal, as Weinraub's head hangs out over a rescue helicopter's open door, watching with tranquil desperation as the earth passes beneath, the overpowering whir of the blades creating a hypnotic state. It is not a traditional blood, guts and glory film. There are no men in battle, only the rescue crew trying to pick up the broken pieces. 無主之地。《战火中永生》眼泪山谷的救助者！。 《赎罪日》以纪录片式的风格讲述了一对生死之交在中东战争中的惨烈故事，具有深刻的反省意义和血淋淋的震撼力。而这部电影的背景，正是导演自己的亲身经历，正是这场惨烈的战争，促使他走上电影之路。
