HaSipur Shelanu (2022) - full transcript

Hi, Tai.
-What's up, Liat?

Barel, you gotta hear
this singer I'm producing.

Sure.
-How should I send you the recording?

Hi, Alma.

Hey. He's been in the bathroom
for an hour/

I know, you have to go now.
-What?

Zehavi's here,
Israel Entertainment's leaker.

If he asks if you're here with Shaked,
say absolutely not.

Is he ashamed of me?
-How could anyone be ashamed of you, Alma?

You're beautiful.

Shaked has an irritable bowel
and doesn't want everyone to know.



He'll call you later.
Excuse me.

Incidentally, he's totally into you.

Really? -Yeah.
-Hi, Tai?

Hey, sweetie. Can I pay here?
Thanks.^

Sure.
Did you see the clip I sent you?

Of course, I'll tell my secretary
to set up a meeting for us. -Thanks.

Where have you been?
I've been waiting here for an hour.

What is that stuff?

Shaked, why were you
a no-show at the fundraiser?

Because that Alma texted me.
She's the one who wanted us to meet.

And you saw her, bro.
I'm only human.

Zehavi had to come here
of all places?

Didn't you think

that if you say you're sick and then
show up at the hottest spot in town



you may get caught?

I'm such an idiot sometimes.

I won't argue with you on that.

Put this on and take this tray.

I'll distract Zehavi.
When you see he's not looking,

run to the kitchen, Koby's waiting
for you out the back door.

It'll be okay.

What's up, Zehavi?

Oh, Barel, how's it going?

I heard that Shaked Cohen
no-showed at the fundraiser.

No-showed? -Yeah.
-Are you nuts?

No?
-Poor guy is at home with a fever.

Bummer.
-Yeah. -Can I quote you on that?

Sure, man.

Love you, man.
-Liar.

She won't kill me, will she?
-She'll try, we'll calm her down.

No offense, dude,
but your mom scares me.

It's okay, she scares me too.

I can't feel my legs.
Tell me I'm at the top.

Tai, tell me I'm at the top.
-You're at the top.

Again, again.
-You're at the top, bro. Roni.

Fines won't interview Ben El.

Tell him if there's no Ben El,
there's no Static either.

Oh, and Karen Peles is on my case.
Set up a meeting, then cancel it.

We already said last week
that you have migraines.

Shit.
Okay, go for an irritable bowel.

No one likes to ask about it.
-Good idea.

You know what?

I think we're the only ones
making a big deal out of it.

No one will even write about it.

Shaked Cohen No-Showed
for a Fundraiser"

Sharon honey, sorry about this,

but you know what it's like
when you're at the top...

sometimes you stumble.
But my hair looks great!

But you're no longer at the top.

Don't even joke about that.

Do you see me laughing?

Who no-shows at a children's fundraiser?

They think you're snooty
and don't care about anyone.

Take care of it,
it's starting to affect the agency.

You gotta do something good, pronto.

Me? I'm always doing good things.

Like yesterday,
I bought a croissant

and it wasn't fresh.

I didn't wanna embarrass the cashier,
so I ate the whole thing.

That's beautiful.

Maybe something with at-risk youths.

Didn't you go to some
boarding school down south?

No way, forget that trauma.

That place is for abandoned kids.

My mom dumped me there,
I got kicked out,

I didn't talk to her for two years,
forget it.

That's great, it's moving.

Take some pictures with them, sing with them,
show people Shaked Cohen's big heart,

he didn't forget
where he comes from.

Tai, find me something else,

I have my own red lines.

You want Sharon to fire you?

When do we leave?

Miss!

Good morning, miss.

Miss, our lesson started half an hour ago.

Shit!
-One, two, three...

You're far away, inside yourself

You always wear the same mask

You smile and say
everything's okay

Then the same thing the next day

Everyone says
you're always looking for fights

You build me an unstable roof
that falls apart in a second...

Stop, she hates this.

What? No, I don't hate it.

It's a good song,

but you're performing it
with no emotion.

Like you're totally disconnected from it.

A song is supposed to be
a window to your soul.

I want to hear what you're feeling,

what you're going through.

And not only sob stories,

which everyone here
at the boarding school has.

There are all kinds of emotions.

Let's say...

There's a girl here who's had
a crush on Halel for two years.

Miss!
-What? I said "a girl."

See any other girls here?

Chill, you're not my type.

Great.
-Shut up, ugly.

Anyway, you can't perform a song
without being connected to it.

Without feeling every lyric and note
in your body.

Otherwise, why make music?
-Fine, then we won't.

Ido was right,
the music department sucks.

He said that?
Where is he anyway?

Forget it, we're not starting
all over again.

Let's go hang out. -Yeah.
-Hey! Sit down.

That's the whole idea
of a work process.

It's not instant.

Sometimes it takes me days,
even weeks,

to achieve something
that I don't feel like puking on.

But when it does happen

and it does come out the way I want,

it's amazing.

I want you to feel that too.
That's why I'm here.

Okay, then why don't you
play us one of your songs?

Me?

Because this isn't about me.

You started talking about yourself.

Where did you say Ido was?

That's too bad, it was nice.

Last time I see bottles in here.

It's crap.

Why didn't you come to the lesson?

Because.

Not a good enough answer.

Yaakobi is onto you.

He won't let me keep you here if...

It doesn't matter,
I'm leaving the music department.

I know you don't like
playing your music for people.

You may be afraid of their reaction,
and that's okay.

But just so you know,

I really want to hear it.

Everyone does.
-Then find something else to hear.

Ido, it's not for us,
it's for you.

Please don't give up on yourself.

Good, great conversation.

Check this out, bro.

I read that in the new version
they're gonna add

an overhead kick feature.

Can you believe that, bro?

I'm just a simple guy,

give me a tiki-taka all the way to the
goal area and pass it into the goal.

Tiki-taka, are you kidding me?
You be Barcelona

and I'll be some lousy local team
and I'll still beat your ass.

You're a good agent,
but a terrible player. -I heard ya.

So I'll pick you guys up
tomorrow night, right?

Take good care of him.

See you, guys.

No, no, Koby, come here, buddy.

I changed my mind, take me home.
-What's with him? -I...

Things at home were bad,
but here they were worse.

No one gives a damn
about these kids.

Take me home.
-Shaked, that's why you're here.

To give a shit.

And so the whole country
sees you giving a shit.

I had anxiety attacks here,
I cried all day, I don't wanna do this.

Take me home.
-Listen, guys.

Tai said you're staying and I have
my niece's wedding tonight, bless her soul.

By the way,
did you make the video I asked you to?

Did you not hear me?

I can't stay here!
-Shaked...

Congratulate Koby.
-Congratulations.

Thanks, that was moving.

That's no way to congratulate someone.

Your room is over there, room 9.

I'll go look for the person in charge.

Maayan Ben-Basat.

What have you done to me?

You turned my day into night...

I swear,
I should've been a singer.

What is this?
-Call the police!

Are you nuts?
Don't you know who that is?

What have you done?

Last time I opened the door to a stranger,

he stole my wallet and
your leopard earrings, so I thought...

You'd hit Shaked Cohen's agent
in the head with a frying pan.

Oh, Shaked Cohen,
I totally forgot about that.

You're just making it worse!

I'm not her friend,
we just live together.

We can't wait to meet Shaked.

I even organized a party
for you guys tomorrow.

Okay...

I nearly forgot, Maayan Ben-Basat,
administrative director.

Can I get some ice?

Or do you two want to keep talking?

Get some ice!

Yeah, okay.

I got everything
that Shaked asked for.

And he asked for a lot,
bless his soul.

I'll take it to him.

Whoa, I'm so dizzy.

You're not in any state
to be carrying things, so...

why don't I...

bring it to him personally.
-Fine, just be quiet.

Yes! Thank you, God!

I'm not happy you got hit
in the head with a frying pan, God forbid.

Okay, I'll go get everything organized.

See you tomorrow at the party.

Bye.

Is this how you always greet guests?

Only the ones
who come to ruin my students

with their three chords
and bad lyrics.

I'm starting to think
the frying pan was intentional.

No...

You dropped something.

It's all good, I'm okay.

Hey, Shaked's in the bathroom.

You can put that over there.
Thanks. -Oh, okay.

I thought I'd give it to him personally.

Cool, so...

there's Perrier,

organic Egyptian sheets,

80% bittersweet chocolate,

a hot water bottle
made of goat's wool.

Sorry, sheep!
Slippers, size 43,1 googled it.

A blindfold, dried figs, patchouli incense,

olive-oil liquid soap

and a pineapple.

And I have a surprise,

wait...

This is a personal gift from me.

Chocolate cake,
Maayan Ben-Basat style,

okay? I may be
the administrative director,

but I also indulge in cooking.

Thanks.

Shaked Cohen is flushing the toilet.

Hey...

Maayan Ben-Basat,
administrative director,

huge fan and the woman
you've been waiting for your whole life.

Can I get a selfie?

Yeah, sure.

Do you have a phone?

054-602...
-No, babe, for the selfie.

Oh, a phone...

No, oh my god, shit, it's in my room!

How can I not have my phone
on the most important day of my life?

I'll take your picture.

A story for our children, huh?

Ready?
-Yeah.

One, two, three...

One more.
One, two, three.

Great. Got it.

I'll send it to you.

Thanks.
-No problem.

You're sure you have everything?
-Yeah, we're all set.

'Cause I can get
whatever you need.

I'm available.
-We're good, thank you.

Okay, I'll be going.
-I think you should.

I'm outta here.
-You're out.

Are you sure you don't...
-Bye! -Bye.

The shampoo here smells like camels, bro.

I hope the boarding school does the trick

because his antics are
costing us too much.

How's it going there?

Tai?

Tai honey?
-What?

Is he still acting
like an unbearable little brat?

He's absolutely impossible.

I'll call you right back, okay?

Simple, gentle songs...

About love...

Sorry, it's just me,
no need for any pans.

Is there something you need?

No, no...

That was beautiful,
did you write it?

Yeah.

Go on, I didn't mean to interrupt.

No, I have to go to sleep in any case.

To sleep?

At 8:40?
What is this, a nursing home?

No, I just...

have a big day tomorrow.

A celeb from Tel Aviv is coming
to show an interest in my students.

Hi, sorry. Anyway,

the press will be here tomorrow,
Shaked will come out looking good.

He's back to his roots,
working with underprivileged kids,

heart of gold.

It's all under control.

No!

What if it stays like this forever?

Is this my new face?

Shaked, well use this.

"Despite being ill, Shaked Cohen
came to have his picture taken with the kids."

Have you lost your eyesight or what?

Can't you see how I look?

I got the message and...

God help me!

Maayan, what was in the cake you made?

Like any cake,
chocolate, oil, flour, sugar, eggs...

and avocado.
-Avocado?

The texture is right
and the flavor's very slight!

My idea.
-He's allergic to avocados.

Okay.

Why don't you reconsider?

It's barely noticeable,
you're so handsome! -Oh yeah?

You turned me into a blowfish.

No, you're not a blowfish!

What's with the blowfish face?

Shaked,
we'll conceal it with makeup.

I can conceal!

I took a makeup course once.

Koby, I need a buffer zone,
she's scaring me.

What's wrong?
-I'm so sorry.

But I know our relationship
will survive this.

What's going on?
The kids are waiting.

Shaked's allergic to avocado
and he's leaving.

You're allergic to avocado?
-He's leaving?

No one can see me like this. Let's go.
-What?

Listen, I apologize,

but he's very self-conscious
and won't have his picture taken like this.

I don't get it,

because your face is a little red,
you're gonna disappoint my students

who've been rehearsing for you?

Who needs you?
Get the hell outta here.

We did just fine without you.

Why can't Tai talk to them?

Great idea!
Tai will talk to them!

Me? Wait.
I'm not good with kids and...

I'm just his agent, what...

Shaked Cohen's agent.
-She's right.

I want to be back in your arms

And write lyrics for you, from the heart

Because in songs
I can speak differently

I can be open and free

My heart is out,
you say I'm not ready

And inside I know that I can

Climb the highest mountains

Because with you I'm the strongest

The strongest

The strongest...

She's crying again.

Don't embarrass us, miss.

Don't call me "miss,"
that was so good!

It's exactly what I was talking about,
you did a great job.

Right?

Yeah...

He hates it.

You want my opinion?
-No, not really.

I think it's nice,

but nowadays /
there's no audience for that.

Who do you think you are, you snob?

I knew this would happen.
-Wait a second.

We know how to handle criticism, right?

What makes you say that?

No offense,

but I think
because you live in the desert,

no signal, weak wi-fi,

you're not always informed
about what's going on.

That song would not make
any serious playlist,

definitely not YouTube's top trending.

You can't just write songs
for yourself and ignore

what the audience wants to hear.

That's why it won't work, period.

Why do they have to think about
what the audience wants to hear?

It's their songs.

They have to be loyal
to who they are.

That's the only thing
they should focus on.

Whatever you say, miss.

What about you, man?

Why aren't you taking part?
You could be my savior.

He doesn't play his stuff.

You're answering for him?

Why don't you play your stuff?

Get off my case.

What he does is meaningful,
even if he doesn't share it.

I have a question for you,

If a tree falls in a forest and no one
hears it, does it make a sound?

What's that got to do with it?

What?
-It's an old Chinese saying.

What meaning does his stuff have

if no one hears them?

He's making it for himself.

So yes, if a tree falls in a forest

and no one hears it, it does make
a sound, because the tree hears it.

Itself.

What's important is that
he likes what he does

and he doesn't care
whether or not others do.

Of course he cares.

Who doesn't want to be loved?
Don't you want to be loved?

What's it got to do with me?

It may be embarrassing to say
in front of your students,

but you want people
to listen to you too.

And if you have the guts,

maybe one day you won't be playing to yoursel
in the middle of the night

with only a bench and two beetles
that can hear you.

I've had it with this bullshit.
-Ido...

I knew this was a mistake,-^
go bring him back.

Me?
-Yeah, you!

He's not one of your celebs,
he's a kid.

Go!

No need to yell.

Who's allergic to avocado?

I know people who are allergic
to peanuts, almonds,

kiwi, cow's milk, goat's milk, halva,

kiwi... I already said kiwi.

Avocado doesn't even have a flavor,

it's a texture,
how was I supposed to know?

You think you're a plumber?

Why won't you let me
call a professional?

So he'll break down the wall
and rip us off?

You can't trust anyone...
-And always manage on your own.

Your parents really did a number on you.

No problem, you want to waste
the boarding school's money?

You're always saying there isn't any.

True.

Just today, the boarding school supervisor,
what's his face?

Shavit! He threatened to shut down
all the departments

that aren't computers and math.
-What?

Seriously?
He wants to shut down the department?

Yeah, but don't worry,
I blocked him with my body.

Since we're on the topic,

is that what you're wearing to the party?
-Is that what you're wearing to the party?

I'm not going to the party.

I want to finish reading my book.

Oh my god, what's it about?
Wait... Not interested!

Am I supposed to stay home with you
'cause I'm a good friend?

I'm not your friend.
-Good, 'cause I really feel like dancing,

partying, going wild.
Bye, Grandma.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Bye.

I fixed the pipe!

Shit!

Maayan! Shit!

Maayan!

Hey!

Miss.

Don't call me...
-You gotta see something.

Okay, why am I here?

Look.

Aren't you totally shocked?

Can you believe it?

I gotta get back,
problems at work.

But hey, at least I won't
be ruining your students anymore.

I actually wanted to update...

what I said about
the tree falling in the forest.

Okay.
-First of all, I googled it,

and it's not Chinese, it's Irish.

So...
-Thanks for the update.

That's not the update, that's...

a preliminary comment.

The update is that...

if you listen to the tree enough,

you may be able to save it
before it falls down.

Then it doesn't have to fall down
just to be heard.

Anyway, I don't know
what you did with Ido, but...

it was cool.

He was really happy.

You know what a high it is when
someone connects to something you created?

You should try it sometime.
Make yourself heard.

Like, what I heard you singing...

Oh, no, that was nothing.

I can arrange a studio for you,

record your material,

maybe we'll do something with it.

Studio? Wow, no way.

Oh yeah, I forgot,

you don't want to be loved.

I'm loved.

Here.

Okay, so...

Bye, miss. Sorry...

Ori.

Bye.

And thanks.

And sorry about the frying pan...
Never mind.

Let's dance real close
into the night

Let's love like
there's no tomorrow

Like in a dream, lift me up

And set me back down with a kiss...

Stop! -Cut!
-What's wrong? -Benny.

Come here!

Everyone, stay where you are.

What, sweetie?

What's the deal with these dancers?

Are you for real?

It doesn't matter,
they're just for decoration,

everyone only looks at you.

This clip has to be perfect, okay?

Are you pinching pennies, Benny?

Not cool.
-Kim sweetie,

trust me.

By the way, you look amazing.

The director is going nuts over you
and the dancers

and they'll only be seen for
about five seconds max,

trust me.

So let's get back to work, okay?

One day of shooting
costs me a fortune.

Come on, back to work, let's go!

Get me two of those.

Hi.

Sorry to disturb you.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm your new agent.

I already have an agent, thanks.

You still don't know
that you left him?

Nice to meet you, I'm Tai Barel.

Sharon Barel's son?

You deserve more than that Gabi.
-Benny.

I get everything I want from him.

But not everything you need.

And you know what I need?

You need to be seen
as who you really are.

A super-fresh pop star
who's here to stay.

Even though you're only 19,

you and your art
should be taken seriously.

Your agent thinks
that because you're young,

he can cut corners with you,

but that's no way to build a star.

No way to build a brand.

Like I said...

20 seconds ago,

that's not what you need.

What's up, guys?
We're running 30 minutes late.

What are you doing here, Barel?
-What does it look like?

I'm taking her away from you.
-He's not taking me anywhere.

You're used to this, aren't you?

Getting whatever you want?

To be honest, yes.

Get outta here
before I bust your face. -Whoa,

let's not resort to violence.

Kim, when you're ready,

you know where to find me.

There's something that's
been bugging me, wait.

That's it.

Bye, Gabi.
-Benny!

She heard everything
she had to hear.

Yeah.

Okay, see you in the morning.

Bye.

Miss?

The Chinese tree.
-Wow!

I didn't know
you knew the way to Tel Aviv.

Neither did I,

but Maayan is auditioning for
"Champion Chef," so I tagged along.

The same Maayan
who put avocado in the cake?

Yes. She just made stuffed cabbage
with ground meat and marshmallows.

And you didn't say anything?

I thought you were her friend.

I am, that's why I'm here,
to support her.

I made it to the next step!
-What?

Oh my god!
-I mean...

Of course you did.
-Of course!

Did they taste the dish?

They loved it!
Look, they ate it all up!

They said it's unique and original
and asked me back for a second audition!

Wait, what are you doing here?

I was on a set
where they're shooting a clip.

Shaked Cohen's?
-No.

Never mind,
I'm not that into him anymore.

You can tell him that.

No way, it'll break him.

Really? Did he say something about me?

We need to go, our last bus leaves...

It just left.

Shit!

If you need somewhere to stay tonight...

you can come to my place.

You'll have the whole living room
to yourselves.

No thanks, we'll manage.

Manage? You wanna sleep
on the street? Well come.

After me.

What are you doing?

Girlfriend,
I ain't sleeping on the street.

Sorry for not bringing my sleeping bag.
-Maayan!

Wow!

This is exactly how I imagined
a bachelor's pad in Tel Aviv.

Yeah, it's...

cozy.

This is your bed for tonight.

Where is the WC?

The what?

The bathroom, sweetie.
-Oh.

Over there, on the left.
-Thanks.

I'll go get some sheets.

Thanks for the invitation.

But we would've managed.

How?

She doesn't like when
people hear her peeing.

Oh boy. And you?

I don't care.

So you're embarrassed
for people to hear your material

but not hear you pee.

Peeing isn't personal,
everyone sounds the same.

My material is...

Wait, I'm looking for a metaphor
that's unrelated to bodily fluids.

I thought you were the delicate type.

Very delicate.

Do you regret inviting us?
-A little.

I'm afraid to find out you're a hairy man
trapped in the body of someone who looks...

not too bad.

Well... have a good night.
-Have a good night.

Not much in there.

This is the saddest fridge I've ever seen.

I know, I got a call from
the Fridge Protective Services.

Can't fall asleep?

How can I?
It's like a freight train.

Good thing we don't share a room at home.

So what do you feel like eating?

Wow!

Deliveries at 2 a.m.

I may be able
to get used to that.

What?

Who eats pizza with a knife and fork?

Oh, touching food grosses me out.

I know, it's weird.

It's more than weird,
have you thought of seeing a doctor?

It's because of my mom,
she hated when I got dirty,

so I'm used to it.

Are you an only child?

How did you know?
-Duh.

Dirt means germs and disease and she wouldn'
let anything happen to her only child.

Is she a single-parent?
-How did you...

We've know each other for two seconds.
-Sorry, I do that sometimes.

Here, take this.
-What are you doing?

Solving your issue, just touch it,
it's nice and greasy.

Ew!

So what's it like
growing up like a prince?

Don't be like that.

Listen, I have an amazing mom,

she raised me on her own,
built an empire with her own two hands,

made sure I always had everything.

She always said anything's possible,
as long as we're together.

Wow.
-She taught me that this world

is one big playground.

It must be nice to feel that.

What about you,
how did you wind up at the boarding school?

You look like a princess yourself.

When I was 14,
my family moved to Germany

for my dad's job
and I didn't get along there.

But they didn't want
to ruin things for Daddy,

so they decided to send me home alone

and they stayed there.

Or maybe they just didn't love me.

Alone, at 14?

Yeah. I was supposed
to live with my aunt, but...

I didn't get along there either, so they sent me
to a boarding school in Bat-Yam,

a horrible place.

I ended up at Neve Arava
and the music department saved my life.

Your parents are really messed up.
-Yeah.

Who wouldn't love you?

You mean, who would love me.

So you started playing music
at the boarding school?

Yeah, they were the first people
who ever really noticed me.

They let me play music and sing,
do what I wanted to do.

That's why I stayed on
as a music teacher.

If you love it that much,
why don't you do anything with it?

Why don't you record your songs and perform.

I'm not good enough.

Nonsense, who gave you that idea?

Why do you think someone
gave me that idea?

It sounds like
something someone told you,

you believed it,
and now you think it came from you.

I impressed you.

Don't get too excited.

Too late, I'm excited.

Who's the idiot?

There was this music teacher
at the boarding school in Bat-Yam,

it took me years to work up the courage
to play my songs for him,

and when I finally did,

he said I sounded like
a million other girls.

Oh, and that I have no grace.

What kind of teacher
says that to his student?

He wanted to spare me
the humiliation of failing.

You are seriously wack.
-What does wack mean?

Since we're on the subject,

I have a little confession.

You're a serial killer and you keep
all the bodies in your empty fridge?

Worse.

Remember that night at the boarding school
when you were playing and...

I saw you and you ran off
like a little mouse? -Yeah.

Well, you left behind
a piece of paper with lyrics and chords.

I took it.

I was wondering
where that disappeared to.

Can I get it back?
-No.

But I promise
no one will see it or touch it

until you're ready
to record your music.

So you mean never, ever.

Okay, great.

Say.

what was the name
of that idiotic teacher of yours?

Ran Peleg.
Does that mean anything to you?

Of course not.

Does he still live in Bat-Yam?

That's the apartment.

Wanna ring his bell and run away?

Good plan, aside from
the fact that it's lame,

so let's move ahead with my plan.

Okay, what's the plan?

If everything was
just like in the movies...

You're gonna wake everyone up!

You would play and sing for me

Simple songs...
I don't remember the words...

Come on!

Simple, gentle songs

About love

And we'd never give up

On our dreams...

Ran Peleg, that's for you, and just
so you know, Ori is a gifted artist!

And I have grace!
-And she has grace!

Be quiet! Get outta here!

Ran Peleg doesn't live here,
he moved a year ago.

Do you know where he lives?

Run.

Wait.

You know how you can tell
if a song's good? -How?

When you sing it real loud in Bat-Yam
in the middle of the night

and it still moves you.

True.
-That's how we'll launch your album!

A balcony tour. Gimme five!

You're being ridiculous.

What is this?

Did you take a shower
with your clothes on?

No, someone...

Never mind, it's a bizarre story.

Yeah.
-Go back to sleep.

No, I'm good.
Slept like a baby.

Want me to make breakfast?
-No. -No.

Why aren't you touching your French toast?

Oh, it's French toast? I...

can't eat gluten.
-Oh no.

This is gluten-free.

You gotta try it.

Excellent choice.
It's oatmeal with lots of goodies.

Raisins, coconut, raisins,
dates and black olives.

I'm allergic to black olives.

I'm okay with green ones,
but black ones are...

Taltul, I've been waiting for you
for 15 minutes.

Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't know you had guests.

So you forgot we were supposed to meet.

Maayan, Ori,

this is my mother Sharon.

Hey.
-On one hand, she has no boundaries,

on the other hand,
she has a key.

Since when is there anything
in this house besides water?

Oh, it's all the work
of my glorious hands.

Thank you.
-Wow, it looks delicious. -Yeah.

Pile it up, these two hardly eat.

She eats like a bird
and he's allergic to black olives.

Since when are you
allergic to black olives?

Just found out.

That's why I had all the.

You know Ori's a musician?

I wouldn't say I'm a musician...

A gifted musician.
-Oh...

Yeah, she sings, writes,
plays, the works.

Wanna hear her?

You must have something
more important to do.

You don't have to...
-She wants to hear.

The only instrument I have here.

Either you sing or I'll sing "Kumbaya,"
it's the only song I can play.

Okay.

She's amazing.
Borderline genius.

You said we should jump,
so I held my breath

I didn't think
what would happen to me

I feel safe with you

And in my mind .
I was already running aheaa

I saw something promising

I wasn't looking at the ground

And suddenly it disappeared

If everything was
just like in the movies

You'd sing and play for me

Simple, gentle songs

About love

And we'd never give up

On our dreams

Of building a world out of lyrics

And never be afraid of getting hurt

Something like that.
-My beautiful, talented angel.

Mommy's genius
I'm so proud of you.

She's right up our alley.

Are youthinking
of turning this into a profession?

Actually, I already have
a profession, I'm a teacher.

Well, if you change your mind,
I can send you a contract.

Me? A music contract?
-No, Alfonso,

my cousin in Argentina
who makes alfajores sculptures.

Send it and I'll sign on her behalf.
-What do you have to lose?

Nothing.

Okay, yes, I mean, thank you.

What just happened here?

This is terrible!

Texture-wise
or too much salt and pepper?

You were awesome,
and right at the money-time.

I hope it doesn't go to your head.
-You think?

I'm so nervous,
I'm about to pass out.

You know the Music Awards ceremony?

It's tonight and lots of
important people will be there

who you should meet.

What don't you come along?
-Me?

I don't know...

And my students are waiting for us, so...

You bet we're coming.

Will Shaked Cohen be there?

Of course.

Good, so I'll text you all the info,

and don't forget to lock
the door when you leave.

Ciao.

Dear Lord in heaven!
-What just happened here?

You got a contract with
the biggest agency in the country

and you got invited to an evening out
where anyone who's anyone will be there,

not to mention that hunk
who keeps hitting on you.

You think?

Most important thing -
we need clothes,

because I won't let
Ivri Lider see me like this.

Okay, I was thinking of
a few ways of promoting Ori Golan...

Look who's here to visit.

You were right about Benny.

I'm always right.

I'm glad you decided to join us.

I haven't decided yet.

Don't get all smug, but...

Kim is still contemplating
which agency to move to,

so she's here
to get a feel of things.

But let's talk about
the really important stuff.

Who are you going
to the ceremony with?

I was planning
to go with Benny, but...

Tai would love to take you.

Actually...

Should I pick you up at your place?

How do you know where I live?
-Don't insult me.

that's my job.

Then I'll see you tonight.

Treat her
like a Saudi princess tonight.

I want her to wake up
tomorrow morning

feeling like if she doesn't
move to our office

it'll be the biggest mistake of her life.
-Okay.

About Ori.
-Who?

Oh, Ori, yeah.
What about her?

I want to record
some of her material with her.

Taltul, she's not right for us.

What do you mean?

I'm not saying
she's not sweet,

but for a club
with twenty people max,

she'll never fill auditoriums.

It's not like you to get confused.

Then why did we send her a contract?

Did you expect me
to say that to her face?

I saw that you...

Amazing work with Kim,
focus on that.

Oh my god,
I love Stephan.

My food is a thousand times better.

Taste it.
-No, I have no appetite.

Where is he?

Oh, there's my prince!

Hello, Shaked Cohen.

Remember me?

Avocado cake...

Allergy, blowfish...

Get away from me, ASAP.

I'm about to get best male singer,
I don't even want

to smell your food,
it may mess up my face again.

FYI, or your information,
some people love my food.

I got into "Champion Chef."

You? No way.

Oh yeah? They asked me
to come for a second audition.

Koby...
They're just messing with you.

I'm onto you.

You know we're gonna be together,
it's written in the stars.

But you're afraid

that I'll upstage you
when I win "Champion Chef,"

'cause I'm gonna win "Champion Chef,"
and you don't wanna be a power couple.

You want to be the only star
in this relationship, I get that.

You really are deranged, huh?

Let's just go home.

No, we're talking.
-No, wait,

I'll check with someone
I used to go out with,

gimme the phone.

Fine by me,
I'm not the jealous type.

She's on the production team,
she'll know what's going on.

On one of the episodes,
they made that pie.

Did you see it?
-Yeah.

It was one of the best.
-I wanted to jump into the TV set

and scarf it down.
-Ask her,

I like the orange jacket.
-Killer, huh?

Maya?
-I love Maya.

I think Maya knows me too.

How's it going, baby?

I'm just at the Music Awards ceremony,

I'll probaly get best male singer

But I don't want to jinx it.

You'll win in any case.

Listen, I want you to check
on one of your contestants,

on Champion Chef,
her name's Revital. -Maayan.

Maayan, Maayan.

Ben-Basat.
-Ben-Basat.

No way, she's just a friend.

For now!

Oh yeah?
-Yeah.

Okay, Maya.
-Okay, Maya!

Thanks.

What did she say?
-Well?

Forget it, babe, it's all good.

Of course it's all good.
I told you.

What's going on?

Are you familiar with the term
"comic relief"?

Yeah, it's when they let people audition
just to make fun of them afterwards, right?

Those are the best parts.

Oh...
-Awkward situation.

Sorry, babe.

It's their loss.

Maybe they're right.
-Hey!

You're a creative chef.

Okay?
And you bring yourself.

If they can't see that,
then it's their...

What?

Kim, Kim!

Kim, over here!
-You're beautiful, Kim! -How are you?

Over here!
-Kim, are you gonna win tonight?

Give us a smile.

You know it's all business
with her, right?

Kim, over here!

Whose dress are you wearing?

Kim, they say you're gonna win
best female singer.

What do you think?

Don't jinx it. Thanks.

I see your agent isn't with you.

Actually, he is.

I'd like you to meet
my new agent, Tai Barel.

When was this decided?

Right now.

Business.

Where are you going?
-Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey!

Six, seven, go.

Your hands electrify me

Gimme a kiss

You ain't for real

Stop, stop.

I'm sorry,
but I can't do this anymore, Tai.

Talk to me, what's going on?

I'm sick of singing songs
I can't relate to.

It used to be okay, but...

I can't do it anymore,
it's not me.

Okay.

Then what do you want?

To choose my own material,

my own clothes, what I say.

I don't want to be
someone else's brand.

Is that stupid?

No.

If it bothers you,

it's a good sign.

It's a sign that there are other things
inside you that want to come out.

Now we just have to figure out
what they are.

You're my knight in shining armor
-Don't. Go on.

My hot-cocoa knight.

That motherf***er,

he still sings off-key
even with all that auto-tune,

that f***ing loser.

Not here. -Who does he think he is?
-Not here, in the car.

This is the fifth item this week.

I thought it would blow over,
but it's like a car wreck.

People can't stop looking at it.

He thought he was gonna win
best male singer.

Oh yeah? And I thought
we were working with an adult,

not a baby.

So he's disappointed,
he should learn how to behave.

Why do I have to waste
all this time on damage control?

Again!

Speaking of babies,
what's the story with Kim?

She doesn't want to be a brand name?
She's Kim.

She's supposed to be a brand name.

hope you talked her out of it.

I told her we'd find
different material for her.

What does she think she is,
a folk singer?

Next thing you know
she'll have political opinions.

I'm on it, okay?

Here she is,
my beautiful winner!

How are you?

Much better.
-Good.

Sweetie, I heard
you don't like the new song,

and I'm very happy
you say what you think,

but did you see all the platinum records
out in the hall?

All those people achieved what
they achieved by listening to me.

To us. Believe me,
we know what we're doing.

And I have to tell you one more thing

about that "perfect song."

It doesn't really exist. What you need...
-Actually, I found it.

It was in your drawer, I was looking
for a tissue, not snooping around, and...

Okay.

"If everything was just like
in the movies

"You'd play and sing for me

"Simple, gentle songs about love

And we'll never give up on our dreams

"Of building a world out of lyrics

"And never being afraid of getting hurt..."

This is it,
it's exactly what I was looking for,

it's real and emotional and beautiful.

It's the new Kim.

Great, then we're all set.

We're all set.
I'll tell Sergei to write similar.

No, I don't want something similar.

I want this.

Unfortunately, that's impossible

because the songwriter
won't let anyone use it.

Who is she? Let me talk to her,
I'll make it work.

It's Ori,
the girl you met at my place, remember?

Wait, she signed with us.

All the rights to her songs
our ours.

Kim honey, this is yours.

You can start rehearsing today,
as far as we're concerned.

Right, Tai?

Robertson...

And the ball is stopped by the goalie.

Are you letting me win on purpose?
The goal was wide open.

I accidentally pressed "pass."

You take all the fun
out of beating your ass.

Now Alexander-Arnold...
And it worked!

But it's not going anywhere.

Do you ever feel you're not
where you're supposed to be?

Sure, bro, I always go in from the middle,
instead of the sides,

then the defense closes in on me
and kills me.

I didn't mean that, man,
I meant in real life.

It's like,
you take a certain path, but...

you don't know if you're heading
in the right direction.

A kind of emptiness.

Of course, bro, who doesn't?

Then I pig out on falafel

and no more emptiness, all gone.

You pea brain.

Just kidding, bro,
I know what you're talking about.

Maybe that's why I keep getting into trouble.

Really?

Does it help?

You know what helps me the most?
-What?

Scoring a 20-meter volley goal against you.

Check this out, bro!

Yahoo! Yippee!

Look how great this is,
all the atmosphere...

Everyone's ecstatic,
check this out!

Now you'll see all the cheerleaders coming...

I just scored a goal, that's why...

I'll take away your key
if you don't know how to knock.

You didn't answer my messages.

Can we have a moment, Shaked?

Sure, I was just about to take a shower.

Don't you dare touch my towel, Shaked.

Take a new one from the cupboard.

No way, I'm taking yours.

I love the way you smell, Daddy.

Crazy...

You haven't come to work in two days.

So?

Are you mad at me?
Because of that friend of yours?

Your sensitivity is your biggest gift.

I used to be like you.

I wanted to discover new artists,
help them express themselves,

even if it wasn't lucrative.

You wanted to discover artists?

Next thing you'll be telling me
you're a hospital volunteer.

Look where you live.

How you live.

How many people your age
can afford a place like this?

A job like this?

It's thanks to stars like Kim

I separate between business and life.

And life for me is you.

And you know what makes me the happiest?

Enabling you
to make your dreams come true.

Isn't it amazing
to give someone that possibility?

Wow, you're killing me here.

Give your mom a hug,
are you nuts?

One more minute of privacy, sweetie, okay?

Sure, no problem...

You're just like me.

You could've done anything you wanted
and you chose to work with me,

my way, and I'm so proud of you for that.

Oh yeah?
With an emphasis on "your way."

That song means so much to Ori

and I promised to help her produce it.

Does she want you
to help her produce it?

Not yet, but she will.

Okay. Well think
about what we can do.

Meanwhile, the most popular singer
in the country wants it.

It'll be a good thing for Ori too,
think about it.

After the song turns into a huge hit,

everyone will want her to write songs for them.

All right.

But I want to be the one
to tell her.

So don't publish anything
until I talk to her, okay?

I promise.

Shaked, I can see you.

No, I just dropped something...

Come on, where is it?

Which outfit is nicer, this or this?

I feel like there's no good way
of answering that question.

Because they're both gorgeous, right?

Okay, intuition.

This one.
Sorry, babe.

You have no idea
who I'm going out with.

Shakedush Cohenush.
-Gimme a break.

I'm serious.

Maayan...

I understand your skepticism,

I thought it was hopeless at first too,

so I wrote to him from a fake profile,
butthen I realized

that I am who I am
and I worked up the courage

and I wrote to him directly
and we've been in contact ever since.

You and Shaked Cohen are in contact?

Daily.

Maayani, listen, I...

I'm getting a little worried.

That what?

That I'm nuts?

No, no nuts, but that you have
a very rich inner world

and sometimes the lines

get a little blurred, between the truth...

and your imagination.

In other words, that I'm nuts.

Youthink I'm nuts.
-No, okay,

I promised my students
I'd write them a song

and you have "a date"

so...
-So... play your guitar!

Who's keeping you?

She thinks I'm nuts!

I believe you,
you're not nuts.

That's nice to know.

What are you doing here?

You didn't answer my messages,

so I came.

Yeah, I've been really busy, etc.

Etc.?

You don't even feel the need
making excuses, huh?

I'm sorry about that evening,

that I couldn't be with you.

That whole circus with Shaked and...

Kim.

Fine.

Forgive me?

For what? I didn't expect
anything from you, it's all good.

It was 100% professional.

So it was a professional kiss?

Exactly.

I'm here because...

Kim didn't like

a certain song that...

Never mind...

and...

I thought...

We thought that it would be...

Wanna go for a walk?

I wish I could live here,
in all this beauty.

You wouldn't survive for a second.

Why?
-Why?

You have to live where
people you admire live.

And you eat pizza
with a knife and fork.

What's wrong with eating pizza
with a knife and fork?

Oh, and next to the definition of workaholic
in the dictionary, there's a picture of you.

You're wrong,

there's a picture of my mom.

Admit that you love being an agent,

being written about,
being surrounded by celebs.

Yeah, it's fun,

but maybe I'd choose
my artists differently.

Take Kim, not that there's
anything wrong with her, but...

I don't know if I'd choose
to work with her.

But don't quote me,

'cause I'll deny it and sue you.
-Oh my god.

Then why don't you work
the way you want?

Because our agency
has a very specific goal.

Let me guess,
helping the needy.

Close. -Oh, making money,
that was my second guess.

Yes, it's okay to make money
from music.

Up until recently,
I thought that's all I want.

What happened?

Are you familiar with the Tapinoma ant?

What?

This is its nest.

It can tell you where the north is.

What?
-Yeah.

They build it facing the south
in the winter

so that the sunlight that reaches it
will make the eggs hatch faster.

Wow!
-You should get lost in the winter

because I have no idea
how they build it in the summer.

I'll remember that.
-I know a million trivia facts.

I was the king of trivia
up until 4th grade.

Then I had my 9th birthday.

What happened then?

I planned a big trivia party
for my class,

I worked on it for weeks,
even months.

I sat for hours, choosing quizzes,

preparing cards.
-Wow, how did it turn out?

It didn't.

My mom was afraid no one would
come to her geeky son's party,

so she brought Svika Pick
to perform instead

and 200 kids showed up
from the entire grade,

they say it was
the coolest birthday party ever.

Wow, was it cool for you too?

Listen, everyone was going nuts...
-Forget everyone,

it sounds like you wanted something else

and your mom didn't understand you,

what's important to you.

That thing you do sometimes...

I did it again, I'm sorry,
I'll keep quiet.

Let's both keep quiet.
-Okay.

It's fun to be quiet.

Do you know there are
wind scorpions around here? -Really?

Yeah, the big ones

can reach up to 7 cm.

They eat reptiles, birds and rodents.

Is that from the trivia too?

King of trivia.

Wow, how come you can't see
the stars in the city?

Because of the lights.

You're right.

You get home, turn on the TV,
put on some music,

so you won't be alone with
yourself in the dark for one moment.

So you won't hear your soul.

Can you hear your soul?

She won't shut up.

What does she sound like?

Like this!

That was funny, surprising.
-Thanks.

What is she telling you?

She's warning me about you.

About me? Why?

Forget it,
everyone looks dangerous to her.

Maybe she should keep quiet this time.

I wonder what star that is.

That one?
-Yeah.

That's the galactic hyperslootza.

The galactic...
-Hyperslootza.

Exactly 32 degrees above the northern horizon

Hold on.

You're not actually googling that, are you?

Google? Of course not.

You are googling it!
-Hey!

Give me back my phone.
-Oh, here's your history.

Excuse me...
-Can you grow after the age of 21 ?

That's for work, thank you.

If it's worth anything,
I think your height is perfect.

Hey, give me that!

Now it's my turn!
-Give me my phone!

Not until I check something.

How do you play the chord F sharp, Em5...
Have you no dark sides?

No, now give it back.
-Wait, let me find the juicy stuff.

Here we go, Kim's Instagram account.
-Give it back.

I'm sorry.

So...

are you interested in me?

No.

I'm interested in Kim.

Don't let it go to your head.

If it makes any difference...

I've been thinking a lot about you too.

Are you saying that
to make me feel better?

Yes.

That too.

I wanted to tell you something.

Something important.

That's why I came here today.

Why is he looking at me like that?

Relax, it's a camel,
they roam around here.

I don't trust camels,
they're unpredictable.

Is that from the trivia too?

No, gut feeling.

He's plotting something.
-He's just a camel, all he wants is some love.

Hey, camel!

Run! Run!

Quiet!
That's the fastest camel in the world.

There he is!

Wants love, my ass.

Wants love...

You're crazy!

Wow...

I have an update.
-Yeah?

Maybe you are cut out to live out here,
in the nature.

only accept at-risk youths.

You're at-risk too.

But you still have a chance
of coming out normal.

You know you're very beautiful?

And that you talk a lot?

You know that when you're asleep,
you breathe real fast, like a baby?

Were you staring at me all night?

I was guarding you
in case the camel came back.

Can I ask you something?

Where can we get
some coffee around here?

Hi. Remember Tai Barel?

I'm not hungry,
in case you were planning on cooking.

There's something you need to see.

What is it?

...everything was just like in the movies

You'd play and sing for me

Simple, gentle son-

That's what I was trying to tell you.

How did she get it?

She found it in a drawer in my office,

accidentally,
and there was a problem, because...

you signed the contract and...

Never mind.
I'm sorry you found out like this.

It's not right,
but there's a good side to it too.

Okay? It's good because
it's going to be a huge hit

and you'll get lots of royalties

and then when you want
to start recording... -Get out of here.

Ori...
-What kind of person are you?

How could you look me
in the eyes and lie?

You're a phony.

You'd sell anything and anyone
just to please your mom.

Ori, it's not like that.

I didn't want her to...
-Keep telling yourself stories.

But the person you are inside...
Look at me!

Who you really are,

the nature of you,

makes me sick.

Tai, your mother wants to see you,
it's urgent.

What is this? -Just a little party
for the new partner in the agency.

Tai Barel, your time has come.

Congratulations, Taltul!

Tai.

You're the man, you're the bomb!

You're the greatest, TaL

Kim sent you something.

To my number one agent, congratulations.

You really deserve this,
I'm sending you a big virtual kiss,

you'll get a real kiss at my concert,

so you better show up, okay?

Kirn's song reached first place
with 20 million views.

Isn't it time to thank the person
who's responsible for that?

It's you, all you!

Hey, partner.

Having fun?

Yeah, of course.
-I started worrying.

We're getting rid of him tomorrow.

What?
-The whole office was working all week

to fix the nonsense that came out
of his mouth on that talk show.

Can you imagine what would've
happened if it had been aired?

And after the embarrassment
at the ceremony, no less.

Hey! You guys make me feel
so emotional.

Hey, gorgeous, give me a hug.

Sharon, I'm so sorry
about the interview yesterday.

Forget it, we're family.
-Of course we are.

I promise to get a grip of myself,

I'm gonna change,
be more serious.

I have a new girlfriend,
she's helping me become a better person.

Did I tell you I'm in love?

The kid's in love.
-Yeah, she's so smart.

Wise.
-Amazing.

She says I'm always doing stupid stuff
'cause I'm afraid

that if I don't,
no one will remember me.

She's right, she's right.

But enough about me,

how about saying a few words
to the masses?

Nah.
-Speech.

Just a few words.
Hey, everybody.

Speech! Speech! Speech!

First of all,
thank you all for coming.

I love you, really.

Sometimes.

And Sharon, I want to thank you
for this opportunity

and for everything you do for me,
I really appreciate it.

And...

I quit.

Funny guy.
-He quits... -You're hilarious.

I'm serious.

I can't be a part
of this agency anymore.

There's no doubt that
it's number one.

But it's yours, Sharon.

And as long as I'm here,

I'll do everything to please you,

to make you happy, but...

I don't know...

what will make me happy.

Because you taught me everything.

Everything I know.

But not even you
can teach me who I am.

I have to find out for myself.

We heard noises and then
we saw that the pipe burst.

It's fixable... right?

I don't think so.

Ido, go out and turn off the water.

Ori.

What happened?

What are you doing here?

I came to talk to you.

This isn't a good time.

I can see that.

When will be a good time?

Never.

I quit.

I want to turn over a new leaf,
open my own agency, with you.

I'll help you record your songs and...

overcome whatever it is
that you're afraid of.

And I'll show you that
the world isn't that bad.

I left everything
and came here first thing

to talk to you.
-That's too bad.

Ori, I know that the people
who were supposed to protect you...

let you down.

And so did I.

And it'll be hard for you to trust me.

But I believe that over time

and with lots of work, we'll succeed.

This has to be fixable.

I believe you that
you really want to change,

but you can't.

And my mistake was that I thought
for a moment that you could.

So go back to your life

and let me move on with mine.

You know what?
I was wrong about you.

I thought you were shy,

but you're just a coward.

You know you're a good singer,

you know you have great material.

You know that deep down inside you want it.

But you won't do anything about it.

You pretend everything's cool
and you don't care what anyone thinks,

but all you think about

is how people perceive you, right?

Otherwise you would've done something
with your songs a long time ago!

What are you afraid of?

Huh?

I'm really sorry about what I did to you.

Really,

I have no excuses.

But I'm here now

to invite you to come with me

and try to make our dreams
come true together.

All you have to do is come with me.

Maybe it has nothing to do with music
and you just don't want to come with me.

I understand.

I just spoke with Yaakobi.
-What did he say?

When will they fix it?

Never. -What do you mean, never?
Where will we make music?

You won't, they're closing down
the music department.

What?

It's not his fault,
it's Shavit from the Education Ministry.

He thinks we only need departments
for computers and math.

Yaakobi tried talking with him,
but it's no use.

He doesn't want to pay
for anyone's hobby.

Hobby?

He thinks music isn't important,

he thinks it's a hobby.

I see.

Forget that, let's go.

Where to? -The guy in charge at the
ducation Ministry who wants to close us dow

He thinks music isn't important.

I need you there with me, so he can see
the faces behind his budget charts

and hear from you personally
just how wrong he is.

Well?

Maybe we don't need
a music department, miss.

What are you talking about?

It won't lead us anywhere.

What we learn from you
is that playing for ourselves

is the most we can dream of.

So what's the use?

We don't want...

to be like you.

What's wrong with me?
-You're stuck in this dump,

as if it's the only safe place
in the world.

You're afraid of going anywhere.

You had the chance to record,
to perform, you said no.

Even that song that they took from you,

it could've been your breakthrough.

So if we never go anywhere
and sing to ourselves,

we'd be better off doing computers, right?
At least we'd be going somewhere.

What are you doing?
-I want to talk to that Shavit guy.

It's in Tel Aviv, I don't know
if the car will make it there,

it hasn't moved in three months.

Darn!
-Enough.

Why don't we just go home?

We'll think things over,
I'll make you something yummy.

Pump the gas pedal, miss.

Put it into second gear
and keep your foot on the clutch.

One, two, three!

It's not...

A little more.
-We have to see where that idiot is.

Who?
-Shavit, who else?

Let's say we make it to Tel Aviv,

where will we find him?

I didn't think of that.

Here we go, boarding school division,
his secretary, Sarit.

A little more...
-Quiet, guys, I'm talking to Tel Aviv!

Come on.

What changed your minds?

You think we'd let you
do this on your own?

Besides, I hate computers.

What have you done to me,
you turned my day into night...

Hello?
-Hi, Sarit? -Yes.

Hi, this is Maayan Ben-Basat,
Neve Arava's administrative director.

I'm on my way to you and need
an urgent appointment with Mr. Shavit.

I'm sorry, it doesn't work like that,

send a fax with your request
and we'll see when he has time.

We don't have time for that,
this is urgent.

We only need ten minutes with him.

Even if I wanted to help you,
I couldn't. He's not here today.

Then tell us where he is,
we'll go wherever it takes.

It's personal.

Thank you for calling
the boarding school division.

Hey, Sarita!

You like Shaked Cohen, don't you?
-What?

Yes, of course.

You know
I know him personally?

I'm talking real personal.

Never mind.
If I get him to call you

and sing Serenade,

Will you tell us where Shavit is?

If Shaked Cohen sings to me,
I'll take you to him myself.

Great. Hold on,
I'm doing a conference call.

You aren't actually calling him.

No, I'm calling my cousin
who impersonates him.

Of course I'm calling him!

Hey, don't leave a message,
no one does that anymore.

Shit!

Sarita, he's at soccer practice,
I'll call you right back.

I'm no fool, lady.

Bye.

Don't just stand there!
Push!

We have to get to Shaked Cohen.

Maayani, I'm so sorry.
-About what?

I was so busy with myself
and I neglected you

and you turned into his crazy stalker.

Ready? -Yeah.
-One, two, three.

Let's go!

Yes! -Awesome!
-Okay!

Come on.

Over here!

Koby!

Over here!
-Shaked honey!

Who's she?

This is so embarrassing...
-Oh my god.

Oh my god, Avocado,
I missed you so much.

Me too, baby.

I couldn't sleep all night,
I kept thinking about you.

Oh, babe!
-I'm crazy about you, you hear me?

I hear you like an owl.

God, do I love you.
-Love you more. -Love you more.

I said it first.
-No, I said it first.

You mean everything to me, baby.

I mean everything to you.
-I'm crazy about you.

Oh my god!
-Wow...

Babe? -What?
-You got my message, right?

Sure, baby,
I read it during warm-up.

Good, get in. -Okay.
-Get in the back, I'm driving.

Crazy stalker, huh?

It's our two-week anniversary on Wednesday.
-Shaked, where you going?

I gotta go, guys.
Play with a rush goalie.

What are you talking about, man?

Sarit, right?
-Yeah, and be charming.

I'm always charming, babe.

You're so handsome.
-Wait a sec.

Go for it.

Sarit.
-Yeah.

Hello, Sarit?

What's up?
It's Shaked Cohen.

I don't believe it!

This is for you, Sarit.

What have you done to me?

You turned my day into night...

How was I, Sarit?

Amazing, baby.

I killed it, huh? -You killed it.
-You're pretty awesome, too.

Come on!
-Tell me,

Maayan said you could help us find...

A Bat Mitzvah video?
-That's not part of the deal.

That's not part of the deal ,Sarit.

She says he's downtown,
but she wants a video for the address.

Just film one for her.
-Do it.

Only because it's you, Sarit.

What's the Bat Mitzvah girl's name?

a Yali.
Okay, in a few minutes.

Come on, step on it.

Where are we going? -We'll drive downtown,
so we don't waste time.

Yali sweetie, how are you?
I heard it's your Bat Mitzvah,

so this is for you, Yali.

What have you done to me?

What are you doing? Turn right!

Oh my god!

Shit, my phone.

Where is it?
-I can't see it.

Don't you have Waze?
-I don't believe in Waze.

Only in my intuition.
-I just upgraded it!

Wait, I found it!
-Take a left here!

Come on, Maayan!
Sorry. -Shit. -Did something happen to it?

No, here, I found it.

Oh, it's still filming. Here.

So congratulations...

Yali!

Yali, Yali, Mazel Tov.

Go on, call her.

Hello, Sarit?

What's up? It's Shakei

Yeah, me too, me too.

Where is he?

Thank you.

The Civic Auditorium, 4 Sidon Street.

He's with his daughter
at Kim's concert.

No way!

Hey! -Hey!

Keep your eyes on the road!

And put on Waze.

I don't believe in Waze.

Kim's here to take over,
that's me.

I have no competitors, no price

If you want me,
stand in line and wait

'Cause everyone wants
apiece of Kim

I'm playing with fire
and getting burned...

I really missed this place.

How many times have I performed here?

32. First time was Hanukah 2018.

God, I love you.
-I'm crazy about you.

Okay, how are we gonna find him?

And if we do, how will we talk
to him in the middle of the concert?

Hold on, I'll get him.

Are you nuts?
You'll get us thrown out.

No one will know it's me,
everyone's looking at the stage.

Everyone's looking at the stage.

Why are you repeating after me?
-I'm not, that's the solution.

If Shavit is only looking at the stage,

that's where we need to go.
-How?

You performed here
loads of times, right?

So you know how to get backstage?

Do birds have wings?

Do ducks say quack?

What?
-Of course I know. Let's go!

Come on!

Like in a dream, lift me up

And set me back down
’with a kiss...

Wow, this is so cool.

So what do we do?
-Kim, you have 90 seconds to change.

Shaked, what's up?

How's it going, cupcake?

Are these your guests?

Hi, nice to meet you.
-Kim, you need to change.

This is Ori Golan who wrote
"Like in the Movies."

Really?
It's so great to meet you.

Your song is perfect.

It changed my life.

I wish there was some way
I could pay you back.

Actually, there is something.

Kim, is it okay if we go on
after your song...

What's going on here?

You can't talk to her
in the middle of a concert.

Go change clothes.

Bye.
-Who let you in here, Shaked?

No one.

But Sharon
my students need to go on stage

and sing a little something.
-They what?

I know it sounds strange, but...

they want to close down
our music department

and the guy who wants to do that

is in the audience.

The only way he'll realize he's wrong
is if he sees and hears them.

So is it okay if they go on
for a moment after this song?

Or whenever you say,
we just need three minutes, please.

I can't believe I'm hearing this.

Get out of here,
this area is off limits.

Let them go on.

My client is performing,
you're way out of line. -Mom.

You told me that the thing
that mattered to you the most

was helping other people
make their dreams come true.

And you always did that for me,
the best that you could.

But now they need
this opportunity

and you have the power to help them.

So please, do the right thing.

Let them go on, Mom.

Go.

You don't have much time.

I want you to sing the new song
you worked on this week.

Are you sure?
It's not ready.

It's an amazing song, okay?
Do you have the project on the computer?

Yeah, but...
-No but's.

You'll be great,
I'm the one who ruined you.

My fears made you believe

that only people at the boarding school
could listen to you.

But I was wrong.

There's a whole world outside
with lots of opportunities

and you're just as worthy as anyone else.

So go out there

and prove to me
that I didn't ruin you completely.

No, not without you.

We want you to sing it.

What? No way.
-We're not going without you.

I know you think
you can't do it on your own,

but that's not true.
-It's not for us.

It's for you.
You're the best singer we know.

"Don't give up on yourself," you know.

Hello, everyone.

Kim...

Hello.

Kim will be right back, don't worry.

Okay.

My name is Ori Golan,

I'm a music teacher at
Neve Arava boarding school.

You've probably never heard of it,

but it's very beautiful.

It's near the Dead Sea.

The northern part...

Only 10 km away from Jerusalem
if you take.,..

Never mind.

Put on Waze.

Mr. Avner Shavit from the Education Ministry
is here in the audience today.

Mr. Shavit decided
to close down our department,

which is my students' home, and mine.

So with your permission,

we're here to sing for him,
and for you,

a song that they wrote,

hoping that it'll make him understand
how important this department is.

And why music is just as
important as computers.

We hope you enjoy it.

It's a crazy world
and it's not always easy

To fight for who I am

To know what's real,
between you and me

To believe in love.

It's a crazy world
and it's not always easy

To deal with every question

To take a heart that's been wounded
and help nurse it to health

To believe in love.

Even if it's darkk\
and there's nothing to light my way

Even if I fell in front of a million people

What matters is that
I didn't give up

Let's go all the way with our hearts
and come out winners

Winners, we are winners

Winners, we are winners

It's a crazy world
and it's not always easy

To be strong in this madness

To know not to hurry,
and let time tell the story

To believe in love.

Even if it's dark
and there's nothing to light my way

Even if I fell
in front of a million people

What matters is that
I didn't give up

Let's go all the way with our hearts
and come out winners.

Winners, we are winners

Winners, we are winners

Winners, we are winners

Winners, we are winners

Even if it's dark
and there's nothing to light my way

Even if I fell^
in front of a million people

What matters is that
I didn't give up

Let's go all the way with our hearts
and come out winners.

Mr. Shavit,

my students and their friends
deserve our department.

We hope it's not too late.

He says he agrees
not to close it down.

Okay, Kimmy, back to work.

I'm so happy, I could make
everyone spinach-vanilla cupcakes.

No.
-No more of that.

I have to go.

Thanks for everything.
You're a real king.

Not anymore,
but I'm better off this way.

Tai.

Hi.

I wanted to update what I said
about people who can't change.

People really can't change.

Okay, thanks for the update.

Wait, that's not the update, it's...

a preliminary comment.

The update is that...

people usually don't change

because they don't believe they can.

But then someone shows up
who really believes in them

and somehow gives them
the courage to try.

And the fact that they even try

is what changes them.

You understand.
Anyway... And yesterday,

I went out for a walk

and suddenly realized I was lost.

And you know what I did?

What?
-I looked for the Tapinoma's nest.

And I found my way back.

And I think I just sang

in front of loads of people,

did I just sing in front
of loads of people?

Yeah, you really did it.

So I just wanted...

to update you.

I ate pizza yesterday.

Okay... was it good?

With my hands.

Congratulations!
-Thanks.

So I guess I changed a little too,
thanks to...

a certain someone.

And thanks to that certain someone
I have my own agency now

and I'm only going to do
what I believe in.

So thanks forthat.

Looking for clients?

To be honest, yes.

Great, 'cause I was thinking...

of offering myself as a candidate.

Sorry, but I can't accept you.

Oh... okay.

You know what they say...

You shouldn't mix

business with love.

Business with what?

Love.

We can learn to set boundaries...

Yali sweetie, how are you?
I heard it's your Bat Mitzvah,

so this is for you, Yali.

What have you done to me...
What are you doing? Turn right!

Shit, the phone!

Where is it?
-I can't see it.

Don't you have Waze?
-I don't believe in Waze, only in my intuition.

I just got it!
-Wait, I found it!

Take a left here!

Come on, Maayan!
-Sorry. -Shit.

Did something happen to it?
-No, here, I found it.

It's still filming. Here.

So congratulations...

Yali!
-Yali, Mazel Tov!

Go on, call her.
