Abstract: The coming of age story of three friends, refugees who fled Africa and left their families behind, learn today in Israel and dream of following Avi (Formally Ibrahim) - the only refugee who obtained Israeli citizenship and joined the IDF. The three start their senior high school year, at its end it will be clear whether they will do the impossible and join the IDF or be deported back to their countries - which mean certain death to them. Our subjects deal with familiar teen-aged issues such as falling in and out of love, tradition and progress, Idealism and reality; but their story takes place in a turmoil, social and political reality - and their unique point of view gives us an original and stimulating look on the African refugees' problem - in Israel and worldwide.
