This is the story of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, a soldier turned statesman, whose life paralleled the life of his country. It is the story of the State of Israel, now almost seventy years old, and all the changes it went through – the optimism of youth, the challenges of adulthood, and the disappointments of its older years. And it is the story of world leaders everywhere, who take office only to encounter forces much more powerful than them.

The film will consist of six parts: a Prologue and five chapters, each depicting a major period in Barak's life, which mirrored Israel since its founding. It will follow a linear approach with thematic interjections. It will cover key historical events, showing how his life is intertwined with the life of his country: Israel's early days; the great wars of 1967 and 1973; the war on terrorism and targeted assassinations; the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin; and Barak's brief but eventful term as prime minister.
