A group of friends in a Tel Aviv suburb get together to watch Universong, a Eurovision-like television song contest. They gather to watch and are depressed by the lifelessness of the Israeli entry, a parody of many recent offerings, a flashy, grating song about "amour." Realizing that Anat is distraught over the crisis in her marriage, they decide to compose a song to cheer her up. As a lark, they enters their cellphone video of it in next year's contest, and it becomes Israel's entry.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative around a simple, warm premise: friendship and creativity as antidotes to personal troubles. It relies on the familiar vibe of a friends' gathering and gently explores themes of self-irony and collective support.

What lingers after the viewing is the feeling of a tender, absurd gesture born from care, reminding us that the most meaningful entries aren't always the most polished. — MovieFinder Editorial
