Gideon Harel, The Prime Minister of Israel, arrives to take part in a TV election debate. The polls are not showing good results, there are no achievements to show for and even the health condition is not so great. As it seems for now, Gideon Harel is about to leave the chair of the decision maker. The campaign crew assembles in a room to prepare the Prime Minister for the crucial debate. Gideon takes a break from the preparations to wander about in the long corridors of the TV studio. This walk will lead him to the TV studio archive, where he will find a tape with a report, that summarizes his life and career, which is being prepared for broadcast in case he passes on. Watching the report will change the way Gideon sees himself, his achievements and his life. It will remind him of forgotten things from the past and will lead him to make the decision to embark on a new road.

The Decision Maker successsfully took part in the official competition at the Jerusalem International Film Festival 2010 and in several film festivals in North America.
