Company C, Platoon 3

The Yom Kippur War, October '73. David Tartkober and Ali Mohar, two reserve paratroopers in the Sharon Division, sit across the Suez Canal in "Africa". The battles are over, but liberation is not coming. They wait for it for a hundred long days - days of cease fire, which sometimes flares up again, days of digging trenches, battle rations, and continuous conversations with the desert and the moon. All the while, one of them draws and the other writes.

They preserve the passing time in the depth of the front, far from their ordinary life; They describe places, machines, and sometimes also fears and longings; they document the backyard of war: empty landscapes that have already been abandoned by the smoke of battle, people's faces, snippets of conversations and moods, and even a tested recipe for a departmental rice cooker.

Today, thirty years later, these records and lists join a rare, authentic, and fascinating diary of people in the war. This is a very personal diary, but not private: it brings the smell of those days even to those who did not experience them, while anyone who was in that war, anyone who ever served in the reserves, will be able to find himself in Company C, Platoon 3. Even if he is from Company B, Platoon 2.
