Six friends record a song that’s chosen to participate in the UniverSong competition, without them knowing. Eytan Fox’ most recent film is a feelgood music comedy with an Almodovar-like touch, full of humor and absurd plot twists that begs for a high score!

Six friends and neighbors, five girls and one guy, spend a quiet night at home, watching a singing contest similar to Eurovision and eating cupcakes with the flags of the participating countries rendered in frosting. In an attempt to help cheer a friend up, they compose a song and record it on their cell phones, later submitted at next year’s sing- ing contest by mistake. Strangely enough, their song is chosen to represent Israel, but in order to accept the chal- lenge, they all need to deal with their anxieties first, overcome social stereotypes, ageism issues, find their sexual orientation, forget the past and face their pompous working environment. Fox’s latest offering is a feelgood musical comedy with an Almodovar-like touch, full of humor and absurd plot twists that begs for a high score!
