Off the beaten track

Luca Zanetti

After serving in Gaza, Israeli soldiers seek refuge on a beach in Panama. They attempt to escape the horrors of war through surfing, meditation, and partying, but the war continues to haunt them. They confront trauma, guilt, and the difficulty of reintegrating into civilian life, struggling to process the violence and loss they witnessed and participated in.
