Green is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nanometers. In the subtractive color system, it is not a primary color, but is created out of a mixture of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; it is considered one of the additive primary colors. On the HSV color wheel, also known as the RGB color wheel, the complement of green is magenta; that is, a purple color corresponding to an equal mixture of red and blue light. On a color wheel based on traditional color theory (RYB), the complementary color to green is considered to be red.
The word green is closely related to the Old English verb growan, "to grow". It is used to describe plants or the ocean. Sometimes it can also describe someone who is inexperienced, jealous, or sick. In the United States of America, green is a slang term for money, among other things. Several colloquialisms have derived from these meanings, such as "green around the gills", a phrase used to describe a person who looks ill.

Plot
"Zugaim Dama" ["Queens Up"] is a story about an unequal match in a tough male environment. Somewhere around the northern boundaries of Israel, in an adjutancy office of a quite sleepy military base, on an especially wintry Saturday night - three "desk-jockeys" who remain on weekend duty - are playing Poker. In the course of the poker game it turns out who is weak, who's even weaker and who's the weakest among three: Green, the NCO (non-commissioned officer) who is only three months before his release from the army, has a weakness for money, and poker is the best way he knows to earn it. Dudu, the cook, is about to sign standing army just like his father; He has a weakness for paternal figures, that's why he hangs after Green. And the weakest soldier of the base, Mano, the gate-keeper, has an artificial eye, and he's just came out of basic training, so he's an easy prey for everyone. After a few rounds of poker, Mano confesses that he can't pay the money he owes, so Green makes him a twisted offer: if Mano can't bet on money, why couldn't he bet on his glass-eye. From now on the card game becomes nerve-racking, until the one-eyed rifle-armed Mano turns from a prey into a predator. This movie is about a little nightmarish army.
