Believing that they can do better, they spontaneously create and record their own song on a mobile phone. Little do they know, their performance is seen by the 'UniverSong' judges and soon they are reluctantly thrown into the spotlight as Israel's next official entry. After initial reservations about their new found celebrity status, they decide to just go for it and find themselves on the road to international stardom. They embark on a flamboyant journey that brings about hilarious end results as they go head to head with the Russian entry in the 'UniverSong' final. From director Eytan Fox comes this extravagant and unashamedly entertaining Eurovision parody featuring a feel-good soundtrack provided by Babydaddy from the Scissor Sisters. With bright styling, irresistibly catchy tunes and a gloriously uplifting storyline, this laugh-out-loud comedy is a ref

oi insult, of recognizing mistakes

and being brave enough to

let it be heard.

And being brave enough to

let it be heard.

Dad,

I have to talk to you.

Just a second, honey.

This is for you, sir.

And those who refuse to hear it

will probably never really

accept you.

So sit alone on your favorite

park bench.

So sit alone on your favorite

park bench.

Try to look at the familiar blvd.

from a different angle.

Now your voice can be heard.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm... fine.

I see you, too, read the...

Urn, yes.

I'm actually a devoted reader.

She always says the right thing, huh'?

You think so'?

I lost a lot of money

because of her.

What?

Or rather, thanks to her.

I invented a popular

computer program.

I invented a popular

computer program.

From that day, my pockets got full

but my soul got empty-.

Since I discovered her, I---...

chase after moments of joy

instead of the next million.

Wow.

Aviv (Springtime).

Yes.

My name is Aviv.

Oh. Keven.

Nice to meet you.

Do we know each other?

Why do you ask?

I don't know,

you're looking at me as if...

What?

You look more approachable

outside the computer.

Oh, you know Head My Lisp?

Actually, I'm son of

a patient of yours.

Really?

But it seems you're one of mine, too.

And when you give in to your

inner voice, something changes.

Something in you opens up

and everything becomes simple.

It's the same bench,

the same boulevard,

but everything is different.

- Dedi?

-Mom! You arrived?

Yes. We're going to rehearsals.

Wow, cool!

- Are you guys okay?

-Of course we are.

Dad put Shira to sleep

so she can stay up tonight.

Dad?

He thought it would be nice

to watch you together.

What? What does he think?

That he can simply come and go

whenever he wants,

and you cooperate with him?

"Cooperate with him?"

What's with you'?

He's our father!

It's not all about you.

Don't talk to me that way!

What do you know?

You're just a kid.

- Hello.

-Hello.

- Merci!

-S'il vous plait!

May I be excused!

Okay, ladies. This is your

que to get onstage.

What? Uh...

That's not the playback.

That's not the song.

Excuse me'?

One moment, please, it's...

not the right version,

we prepeared something else.

Mr. Eduoard Baer, s'il vous plait.

Where to look?

Stand still, please,

stand still.

Is there any problem?

Thank you very much.

What? What?

- What thank you very much"?

-Now is Mr. Edouard Baer.

Excuse me.

What "excuse me"?

This is our first...

Excuse me, I don't know you, yes?

But I see everybody else does...

What is your problem'?

We come here do our first rehearsal,

nobody's pissing to our direction,

and then comes Messieur and they

through us away to the garbage?

Why'? We're not important?

We don't exist?

We don't need time? consideration?

- Madame...

-What is it about you men?

You think you can do everything

and it's okay.

You come when you want,

you go when you want,

and we're supposed to accept it

like it was nothing.

Why'? kousochto Monsieur,

kousochto all Monsieur...

How do you say misamcha,

Who put you...? -Anat...

Who put you to decide?

I decide we stay on stage,

do the rehearsal comme il taut,

and stop popping up

whenever you want.

Do you think it's fair'?

No, tell me, do you think it's fair?

And I know you. I know you well.

Some day you'll come back

all smiling,

expecting us to behave

as if nothing happened.

And then you say,

"Woman is crazy."

No, you're crazy

to drive us crazy like that.

All of you!

All right.

It says here:
"Getting to know

YOU Party"

Maybe we should mingle'?

- Shalom.

-Shalom, Shalom. Kak dila?

(Russian)

Ah no, I don't speak Russian.

I just said that I think

we speak the "same language".

Now we do. Ofer.

Stas. Nice to meet you.

And this is my lovely wife, Oxana.

We also perform together.

"My lovely wife..."

Anat.

Monsieur, I'm so sorry.

- Really, it's all kind of...

-Don't mention it.

Why don't we get away

from all of this?

May I invite you for dinner'?

I love Paris when it rains.

In Israel we say:

"Two of us under one umbrella."

- Under one umbrella.

-Good.

So, come to think of it,

your band, Anat-Ofah,

it's based on your name?

In a way. It's the name of

a business that I'm running.

"Ofah" means boulanger.

Really? So you're not a professional

singer?

No, I'm a professional baker.

I have to ask you,

why did you...

I heard you,

and beyond all this hysteria

I really felt a woman, you know?

A real woman.

By the way, what means "Kousoto?

Sorry?

Kousoto." At one moment

you said the word Kousoto

and it seemed... very deep.

Kousoto...?

Oh, yes. Yes.

Kousochto (a**hole in Hebrew).

Yes, it's deep.

I knew that.

You're really charming.

I knew it from the very first moment

I put my eyes on you.

You must have a very good eye.

Excuse me, it's from the pressure.

You know...

Maybe I should just go

back to the hotel.

Oh, you're married. Okay.

So I guess your petit husband

is waiting in the room, and...

No, my petit husband

is not waiting at all.

Explain.

I mean, you can talk to me

about it, you know.

To you, from all people?

Why not?

Do I seem to you like the portrait

of the guy jumping from bed to bed,

from gala to gala

and opening his eyes every morning

without knowing where he is'?

That's what you think I am?

It's true. I am like that.

But you know,

I was married once.

And it had everything to succeed.

Everything but one thing. Me.

If at that time I had

someone to talk to like that,

I'm sure that she would

still be around.

But no, it was always about me.

Me on TV, me on radio,

me on stage, me, me, me.

So at the end it was

still about me, but...

me alone.

How can you put that

in your mouth?

Just like this.

Pork, cheese,

these French have no God.

But they have oeuf a la coque.

Perfection.

Oeuf a la coque.

It's just a soft-boiled egg.

Pass the coffee, please.

- Thank you.

-You're welcome.

What?

What "what? How was it?

It was wonderful.

How was Edward?

Edouard.

He was wonderful.

"Edouard."

And...?

And that's that.

Fans?

What fans?

It's annoying news updates.

As if it'll kill me not to know that

the Chief Rabbi fondled a boy,

or the Minister of Culture

decided to go to Paris

to show her support

for the band...

Girls!

Peek-a-boo!

Bon appetit, everyone!

What a great surprise.

What do we have here?

Oeuf a la coque.

My husband would be drooling...

I'm so glad I came!

Shoot my better side, Reuben.

Weren't you at the briefing'?

And don't film the table,

it's not kosher.

Listen, I read your column about the

familiar boulevard that looks different

and it played on my

most sensitive heartstrings.

It filled me with pride.

What can I say'?

If you can't beat them, join them!

I'd never desert her...

Reuben, go film the other

delegates. Far away.

Thank you.

Dana, for God's sake,

pass the pork.

Ready?

Wait a second.

Is something wrong?

One little thing

before we go on, okay?
