The film is an animated documentary about the massacre of Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila in Lebanon in 1982. One night at a bar, an old friend tells director Ari about a recurring nightmare in which he is chased by 26 dogs. Every night, the same number of beasts. The two men conclude that there's a connection to their Israeli Army mission in the first Lebanon War of the early eighties. Ari is surprised that he can't remember anything about that period of his life. Intrigued by this riddle, he decides to meet and interview old friends and comrades around the world. He needs to discover the truth about that time and about himself. As Ari delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, his memory begins to creep up in surreal images.
