How do you face this unbearable dilemma – to save your dying husband or to protect your children? With one hand she tries to tend to her husband Noi, a member of the unit trained to guard and defend Beeri, their kibbutz, who is suffering from an arterial occlusion after being shot by the terrorists. With the other hand she tries to calm her three children. When the house catches fire, she realizes that she has to leave Noi to open a window in the safe room and get her children out. Calmly, Machol equips herself with Noi's personal weapon and goes out to protect her children, emptying a cartridge at her husband's murderers. Fifteen minutes later Syeret Matkal manages to rescue her and her children.
