3.0New comedy film inspired by the Israeli classic "Halfon Hill Doesn't Answer", released to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Somewhere in the Great Rift Valley stands a small, forgotten, and seemingly useless military base. When the Chinese government offers the state of Israel an enormous sum of cash to lay the path of their new Silk Road through it, all that seems to be done is to shut this base down. Ran Shem Tov, a "disassembly officer" who was deployed to command due to "military streamlining needs", is recruited for this mission. But the thing Ran and the heads of the IDF don't know is that an old bunker was built beneath the base, for which no one remembers the cause of construction. Lately, strange things have been happening in it, which delay the base's shutdown. These events bring all soldiers together against internal and external forces.
