Ari and his old friend stay late in the bar and his friend told Ari about the nightmare that keeps recurring every night. Twenty six fierce dogs are chasing him every night and he can never run away from them. Two friends guess that the nightmare is connected with their past, when two fellows took part in the war against Lebanon. In 1982 Ari’s fellow was assigned to kill all twenty six dogs in the village of their enemies. They needed to eliminate these dogs because the dogs could have alerted Lebanese warriors about forthcoming of Israeli Army. Ari’s friend succeeded to kill all dogs and his mission was completed, but the dogs have been coming in his nightmares ever since. While Ari listens to this story he starts realizing that he can hardly remember anything about this period of his life during the war. He understands that there is something important that he needs to reminisce and he decides to start looking back by meeting his comrades. But he has no idea what kind of changes it will bring to his life…
In 48 B.C., Caesar pursues Pompey from Pharsalia to Egypt. Ptolemy, now supreme ruler after deposing his older sister, Cleopatra, attempts to gain favor with Caesar by presenting the conquerer with the head of Pompey, borne by his governors, Pothinos and Achillas. To win Caesar's support from her brother, Cleopatra hides herself in a rug, which Apollodorus, her servant, presents to Caesar. The Roman is immediately infatuated; banishing Ptolemy, he declares Cleopatra Egypt's sole ruler and takes her as his mistress. A son, Caesarion, is born of their union. Caesar, however, must return to Italy. Although he is briefly reunited with Cleopatra during a magnificent reception for the queen in Rome, Caesar is assassinated shortly thereafter, and Cleopatra returns to Egypt. When Mark Antony, Caesar's protégé, beholds Cleopatra aboard her elaborate barge at Tarsus some years later, he is smitten and becomes both her lover and military ally. Their liaison notwithstanding, Antony, to consolidate his position in Rome, marries Octavia, sister of the ambitious Octavian. The marriage satisfies no one. Cleopatra is infuriated, and Antony, tiring of his Roman wife, returns to Egypt. There he flaunts his liaison by marrying Cleopatra in a public ceremony. Sensing Antony's weakness, Octavian attacks and defeats his forces at Actium. Alarmed, Cleopatra withdraws her fleet and seeks refuge in her tomb.
