Synopsis: When a group of best friends in Tel Aviv gather to watch 'UniverSong', they are less than impressed by the official Israeli entry. 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

A prayer? You're kidding!

Efrat! Go ahead, Dana.

May it be Your will,

O God and God of our fathers,

that we go in peace,

walk in peace, and be guided in peace,

and may You take us to our

destination in life, joy and peace...

- Amen.

-Hold on.

"And save us from every

foe and danger on the road

"and grant us grace and kindness

and mercy in Your and everyone's eyes

and hear our plea,

for You hear prayers and pleas.

"Blessed are You, hearer of prayers.

Amen!

Amen.

Good evening.

What a wonderful night!

Welcome to Paris!

Presenting the UniverSong

is a dream come true.

It's also a wonderful opportunity

to make a lot of money

for very little work.

Many see UniverSong as

a celebration of kitsch,

but for me, it's an opportunity for

many international encounters-.

For example,

the Finnish blonde

I met the other morning.

Or the Latvian brunette

from yesterday.

And those Spanish twins last night...

Well, enough with french elegance.

I'm delighted to say that

the competition has begun!

- Dedi.

-Mom?! Are you crazy'?

- Listen, son- It's important-

-Mom!

I wanted to say I'm sorry and I...

I love you.

I know you're a wonderful boy.

No, a man, a wonderful man.

Come on, Anat.

Now, I'm delighted to welcome

the Israeli group.

Morn, you nuts, you're on!

Go kill them!

I love you, Dedi!

The name of the group comes

the bakery one of them runs.

There is nothing more beautiful

than a woman's hands in dough.

I am proud to introduce

the Israeli singers,

Song number six,

Song number six...

Morn, you're going on stage,

I'm hanging up.

An at-Ofah-.

Even if it hurts now

And will hurl later on

Remember that even the darkest

nights are followed by dawn

Let your tears fall

And wash away the pain

Those broken pieces

would be a whole again

Would be a whole again

Day by day, Anat

It'll all work out in the end

You won't be all alone

I'll always keep you from falling

You and me and us

We will be there, supporting

Your smile will be back soon

It's already returning

A whole life of joy

That's only in fairytales

But in this life, too

There are surprises yet to come

There are surprises yet to come

Day by day, Anat

It'll all work out in the end

You won't be all alone

I'll always keep you from falling

You and me and us

We will be there, supporting

Your smile will be back soon

It's already returning

One door has closed

What a shame

lime heals all wounds

Hold your head up,

you have no choice

Day by day, Anat

It'll all work out in the end

You won't be all alone

I'll always keep you from falling

You and me and us

we will be there, supporting

Your smile will be back soon

It's already returning

It's already returning

It's already returning...

You've heard it all,

you've seen it all,

and now let's go to the voting.

Good evening, Helsinki.

Good evening, Paris.

These are the results of

the Finnish jury.

Norway,

6 points.

Norway, 6 points.

Israel,

7 points.

Yes! Yes!

- Chill, you homo.

-Shh!

And finally,

12 points

go to...

Russia.

Russia, 12 points.

The Anat-Ofah Band

just finished their performance

on the UniverSong stage

in Paris,

a thrilling performance

if I may say so,

Our most charming

song in years.

But is if their simplicity enough

to win the millions of hearts

who are used to more

bells and whistles.

I'm told we are nearing

the crucial moment,

so let's all go back

to the theater in Paris.

And now we go to the final vote,

we go to Slovenia.

Slovenia, do you hear me?

Good evening, Edouard.

What an amazing show

you did tonight.

I know you're all waiting

for our result

and I don't want you keeping waiting.

Here are the results of Slovenia.

France, 8 points.

Are people betting on this online?

Shh...

Israel, 10 points.

Yes!

Israel, 10 points.

And finally, 12 points goes to...

Russia.

Russia, 12 points.

So the winner of the

UniverSong this year

is Russia.

Russia is the winner.

- I'm so excited.

-You're excited?

Tell me how you feel.

You're excited?

Second place is the true victory.

Cliff Richard came in second twice.

Twice is better than once.

Second place is better than first

It could be a real pain in the ass

to host the UniverSong in Israel.

To next year in Moscow!

Halleluyah!

Today's recommendation is love.

Yes, it's a little banal,

but sitting in a movie theater

and eating popcorn

isn't exactly original either.

It's not that I found the formula,

I just want to say

that it's still here.

Relax, friends,

it's still here.

Which is worth something

in a world that's so cold

that sometimes days pass

without touching anything

warmer than your laptop.

I don't want to say

I told you so, but...

Your concert on Friday...

Sold out!

What?

Zohar, this is my dad.

Dad, this is Zohar,

my boyfriend...

Yes, love is definitely still here.

It's here when you rediscover

your true smile.

The one you lost when you were 5.

The smile that your eyes

and lips take pan in.

That changed into a distortion of

the mouth, indicating happiness-.

The smile that suddenly emerges

when you meet someone

you really like.

Or when you do something silly

that feels so right.

Hello, Yael.

I'm calling about your application

tor the position at our firm.

Mira wants to meet you

as soon as possible...

That smile is the

best guide I know.

Just follow it,

tenderly and fearlessly.

It'll take you to where your

supposed to be.

And what hasn't yet been
