Israeli comedy drama directed by Eytan Fox. A group of six friends living in a Tel Aviv suburb come together to watch an international song competition on television. Each with their own personal problems, they use this opportunity to forget their everyday stresses. Disappointed with their country's entry, five members of the group impromptly compose a song to cheer up Anat (Anat Waxman), who is facing a marital crisis. What they think is a harmless bit of fun quickly turns into something more serious when Ofer (Ofer Shechter), the only male in the group, sends the resulting mobile phone video of their song into the competition, and before they know it they're scheduled to perform at the following year's contest. How will they cope with the added pressure of being in the limelight?
