On August 15th, 2005, the Israeli government began the evacuation of 8500 people, 1800 families, from 21 Jewish settlements (known as Gush Katif) in the Gaza Strip, and four settlements in Northern Samaria. In one of the harshest tests ever faced by any modern Democracy, Jewish soldiers and police were faced with the extraordinary task of having to remove fellow Israeli citizens from their homes and synagogues and schools, forcing them to dismantle their farms and industries, uproot their graveyards, in the hope that this unilateral act of giving would serve the Israeli national interest. This is a chronicle of the last days of a world, a community, and a way of life that was destined to disappear into the desert from which it sprang.

The story revolves around a student's memories of childhood friends whose lives have turned upsidedown. There are three people whom each have certain problems and the consequences they make for their lives will be an ultimate sacrifice. The song is lipsynced in front of the school in which the student remembers his past. Near the end of the video, students of similar age sing the anthem, 'We are, we are...the youth of the nation'. The student finally sets flowers by the school looking back on his past and walks away wanting to forget his memories and look to the future. The bulk of the film is done in black and white and intercut with both the intertwined stories and a band playing the song.
