Low-key film about two volunteer suciide bombers and their last day before their mission is scheduled. The film does not concentrate on the political issues of the region, but rather if these suicide-murder missions can ever really accomplish goals their perpertrators have set. It also helps humanize, not defend their actions. Such as, what about their lives would drive them to take such action, not just extenal conditions, but mainly their own deep-rooted mental state.
