The picture is ''based on a true-life incident'' according to 1980s home video sleeve notes.
The picture was a joint Israeli-American film production.
The film's opening prologue reads: ''Yom Kippur War (October-November, 1973). This is the story of two women, an American married to an Israeli, and an Israeli journalist. Like many other families, both women are desperately searching for any information on their husbands missing in action. Already, many families are receiving official notification of the death of their sons.''
Many movie posters for the film featured a preamble that read: ''Two Women. Both see the face of the same man. Each thinks it is her missing husband. Only one can be right. The truth will either bind them together or tear them apart.''
The armed conflict that is the background to this picture is the Yom Kippur War of 1973. This was fought between the 6th and 25th October that year. It is also known as the October War, the Ramadan War, the 1973 Arab-Israeli War and the Fourth Arab-Israeli War. It was fought between Israel and an Arab coalition of Egypt and Syria.
