THROUGH NO
WISH OF MY OWN
The story of an infantry soldier pressed into service in the Israeli army and eventually jailed for some minor infraction. Through a frenetic, vitriolic, moving, and hilarious monologue, the soldier recounts his entire military career in the IDF, from bewildered recruit to struggling commander to defeated prisoner; he revisits and obsesses over all the times he had stumbled, misunderstood, failed, and cheated, while also condemning the corruptions and failures of the military system - culminating in the violent and deadly chaos that erupts in Bethlehem on the eve of the new millennium.
