Plot overview[edit source]

The series, set in 2008, depicts three Israeli soldiers who were captured seventeen years ago while on a secret mission with their unit in Lebanon.

Season 1[edit source]

The story begins with the soldiers' return home after years of negotiations for their freedom. Nimrod Klein and Uri Zach return alive, along with the remains of Amiel Ben-Horin.

The series explores the reintegration of Nimrod and Uri into a society which has made them national icons, and into an interrupted family life, while working through the trauma of being held captive and tortured. On a personal level they have to deal with partners who waited or moved on, children who have grown up without them, and parents who have died.

They also have to undergo psychiatric evaluations and military debriefings. When a military psychiatrist finds discrepancies in their stories, an investigation is launched to discover what they are hiding.[1][2]

In the closing minutes of the first season, it is revealed that Amiel did not die in captivity as was believed, but is alive and living in Syria as a Muslim.

Season 2[edit source]

After flashbacks to events at a school in Metula in 1990, and to the period shortly after Nimrod and Uri's release, the second season rejoins the story a few days after the events at the end of the first season.

Initially disagreeing on what to do with their discovery that Amiel may still be alive, Nimrod and Uri take the information to Haim and Iris, who start to pursue their own (unofficial) investigation into what happened to Amiel - with unanticipated consequences.

Alongside this, the series continues to follow Nimrod and Uri (and the soldiers' families) as they pick up the pieces of their lives post-release. It also depicts Amiel for the first time as a living character (rather than Yael's visions of him) and follows his new life - as Yusuf, a Muslim - in Syria.

Hi,

HATUFIM is an excellent series, but Season 1 ends on a major but annoying cliffhanger...

At the moment, certainly for the UK, Season 2 hasn't ever aired here, and it's been almost 2 years since Season 1 was shown. So I can't say whether Season 2 concludes the cliffhanger, or not.

If you liked HOMELAND, then you'll enjoy this. Just make sure it has English Subtitles.
