Foxtrot

The movie opens with an affluent Tel Aviv couple, Michael & Dafna Feldman, learning that their son, Jonathan, a soldier, has died in the line of duty. The film initially follows the parents in the hours after they learn of their son's death. The Israeli military authorities refuse to inform the distraught parents where and how Jonathan died, or if his body had been recovered. Several hours later, they are notified almost matter-of-factly that there has been a mix-up, and that it was some other Jonathan Feldman who has been killed. An angry father demands that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) allow Jonathan to return home. The film then follows the young man's experiences during his military service as one of four soldiers manning a desolate checkpoint under primitive conditions. In one scene, the soldiers kill a group of four young Arabs after they mistake a beer can that rolled out of the Arabs' car for an explosive device. Read more on Wikipedia.
