This documentary has created attention even before it was completed. It managed to solve the mystery surrounding the identity of a victim of a bus explosion 6 months after he was buried as “anonymous”. But this is only the “technical” or journalistic achievement, a by-product of the film. The filmmaker, in his quest to discover the identity of “No. 17”, is on a journey into a multi-faceted Israeli human landscape, constructing a sober, rich, unsentimental mosaic of society, while uncovering the mechanic, bureaucratic routine surrounding death.
