Wadi is a valley located east of Haifa. A former stone quarry, it is a sort of enclave where Eastern European immigrants, survivors of the camps, live in a state of fragile coexistence with Arabs who have also been expelled from their homes. In 1981, Amos Gitai went there to film the intimate story of Yussuf and Isha, Iso and Salo, Miriam and Skander, an Arab family, a Jewish family and a mixed couples, together in this remote and isolated place.

Field Diary also introduced what would become Gitai's signature style: the long, lateral tracking shots that, as Yann Lardeau noted in Cahiers du cinema, "become a question of morality...we never enter into the reality of the war, but we always remain on the edge of the scene".
