This movie was AMAZING. It's about Ari (the director) who is trying to recall the memories of the Israeli/Lebanon war that he's blocked out. He visits fellow veterans and asks for their stories to help himself fill in the gaps. The animation was really really neat. I was looking up info on this movie and I guess the artist, David Polonsky, drew with his left hand because the drawings he did with his right hand were too beautiful. Each memory has a different color scheme and the drawings are very unique. The men that Ari interviews are all really veterans in real life and the movie is filled with their true stories. Between the haunting, but not over done war images, the beautiful animation and the way Ari told the story, I give this movie a big fat A
