Beloved Israeli auteur Eytan Fox (Yossi and Jagger,Walk on Water, The Bubble) returns with a sweet, bubbly and downright delicious concoction.

When a group of tightknit friends accidentally (!) enter a Eurovision-style musical contest, their endearing tune – originally written to console a heartbroken buddy – is picked to represent Israel. Thrust into a world of glamour and high expectations, the friends struggle to navigate around the sharp elbows of the pop music business, along the way getting into plenty of hilarious hijinks.
