Based on the story of Liraz Liberti, the 22-year-old commander of the Beaufort outpost, and his troops during the final weeks before Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000. Beaufort relays the experience of these young soldiers who must find a way to carry out their mission until the very last moments on that mountaintop.
