INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS
[bluesy guitar music playing]
Whoa!
Come on, keep it steady.
Okay, here we go.
Well, all right, okay ♪
[singing softly and indistinctly]
Whoo-hoo ♪
-[Nisso] Yasso! [laughing hysterically]
-[glass shatters]
Nisso.
What are you doing? Get down.
Just look how happy the city is.
Yeah. Amazing. Get down.
Listen. Remember when we used
to go to games at the YMCA?
We used to sit up on the cypress tree?
Sure, I remember. Now, just come on back.
You remember when Beitar scored a goal?
I was so excited, I almost fell off?
Of course. So?
Remember what you said when you caught me?
-The same thing as always!
-"Beitar, come hell or high water!"
-[laughing]
-Enough with the nostalgia.
You're freaking me out. Give me your hand.
-Give me your hand.
-Come on, man.
Perfect whoa!
[clamoring]
[screaming, groaning]
[quirky theme song playing]
BROS
[whimsical music playing]
[child] Come here!
Mom!
How long you been awake?
You're sleeping so much.
It's all upside down, huh?
Suddenly you're getting up early.
Getting up early.
Can't really sleep.
I know how you feel.
What do you mean?
You're excited to be a dad.
You're a new man.
You think so?
Unless you've taken up
staring at random kids as a hobby.
You be careful, Alma.
Wait, you know
it's Hila's birthday today, right?
Yeah, I know, come on.
You wrote it in my planner.
That's what I love about your family.
They can make a chore
out of a birthday party.
[Alma chuckles]
Let me look at you.
I still can't see anything.
Not that far along yet.
I can definitely feel her, though.
My little princess.
Why do you say "princess"?
I don't know. Does it matter what it is?
No. Not really.
I don't really mind.
Either way, it's fine with me.
Yeah. Long as there's a bris.
[laughs]
That's not true, babe.
I honestly don't care.
-No?
-No, I really don't.
Just you know,
don't decide that for him.
-Hmm.
-Got it?
Mm-hmm. [laughs]
[whimsical music playing]
[clicks tongue]
[phone dialing]
[Nisso] Hello, is this the hotline
for Shaare Zedek Hospital?
[woman] Yes. How may I help you?
[Nisso] I was in the ER
after an accident, and they did tests.
Since then, I can't get ahold
of anyone, and no one's called.
Can I speak with a specialist?
[woman] If you haven't heard,
we don't have results yet.
I can't give you sensitive information
over the phone, only a doctor can.
You should schedule an appointment.
-Have any openings today?
-I don't do scheduling.
That's the appointment center.
I'll put you through.
-Hang on!
-[extension dialing]
[sighs]
[whimsical music playing]
[rooster crows]
[cattle lows]
-Happy birthday to you ♪
-[Hila] Thank you!
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
God, Grandma's awesome.
How much did you get?
-Three hundred.
-Wow! Grandma is kind.
She gave you 200, right?
That's true.
How come she gave her more money?
You're the eldest
and your sister's the youngest.
That's not why. She's her favorite.
Oh, that's not true.
Grandma misses you both very much.
You should visit her at home.
It's rough.
Alma, dear, you know she asks about you.
She does? Well, what does she say?
"When will the grandkids come?"
[chuckles]
So I told her it's pretty complicated.
I filled her in on what the doctor
told you, the Fiat and all that.
Boy, that really made me laugh.
[family laughing]
Why even tell her about that?
Why would you talk about it?
Stop. Don't be so sensitive.
It's important to her.
You wouldn't understand.
Well, why wouldn't I?
'Cause Grandma Sonia comes from Europe.
She went through a whole lot.
During the Holocaust.
So to her, the next generation,
children, family, it's
It's what?
Okay, so, we gonna eat?
Yeah, we're barbecuing, huh?
I brought those delicious burgers you like
and chicken thighs for you.
-My grandma was in the Holocaust too.
-Hey, let's not compare.
All right, fine, everyone had it,
out there with, uh
Y-You know, it's
No, no, wait, wait a minute.
Holocaust, Holocaust. The Germans. Nazis.
My grandma was from Tunis.
Did you know they rounded up
the Jews there and burned them alive?
Her mother sewed her a star.
She said they could hear
the sound of jackboots in the streets.
For the rest of her life,
my grandmother had nightmares.
The future is important to us too.
That's why my wife and I
are having a child.
Want to tell them, Alma?
Uh, but we said we were going
to wait a bit, didn't we?
I guess our plans have changed, then.
From now on,
I'm not a Fiat, I'm a Ferrari.
Lots of horsepower.
I'm a prime specimen from Tunis.
I'm going to go fire up the charcoal.
We're not using gas today.
[Hilik] Are you serious?
-Sis! Are you kidding me?
-I can't believe it.
-Oh-ho!
-This is crazy.
Oh, my God, I'm in shock!
-[Hilik] What?
-Oh, my God, honey!
This is amazing!
-Wow, you're showing!
-Is this really happening?
No, no, no, no. Not thick.
I know you like it thick.
If the eggplant is too thick,
it'll just absorb the oil.
Just make it, I don't know,
like maybe a centimeter
or centimeter and a half, right?
You slice the eggplant into circles.
Do it little by little.
Eh, more or less the same size,
as long as it's in circles, yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
-Hi, is this Dr. Arbel's office?
Hang on.
No.
No, fry it again and take the eggplants
and put them on absorbent paper.
-Hello?
-I'm on a call.
-I want to talk to the doctor, please.
-Put all the sauce in a pan on the fire.
But only after you put in all the garlic.
-Hey, can you just talk to me?
-You wouldn't believe it. You
No, you're not the one bothering.
Okay, fine.
Just get it started,
and I'll call you back.
M'bye.
-I just need the doctor.
-What do mean, need the doctor?
I needed some tests done, I did them.
I'm waiting for the results.
You need an appointment.
You can't just arrive.
-Is he around?
-Yes.
-Fine, I'll wait.
-There's no point.
I'll sit here for as long as it takes.
Fine. Do whatever you want. Are we done?
[receptionist exhales sharply,
punches phone numbers]
[clears throat] Uh just so you know,
eggplants are a hell of a lot better
roasted than fried.
Don't they get all dried and limp?
No, no. What you do is you take a brush,
you brush them like you do with bourekas,
but with olive oil,
both sides, one at a time.
Comes out nice and crispy every time.
[Nisso chuckles softly]
Hmm. How about that?
Yeah.
Hey, you.
Yeah, I mean you.
Can you help me out for a second?
Yeah, sure.
[monitor beeping]
Can you get the headphones out of the bag?
You got it. No problem.
[man] I'm sorry to bother you, my friend.
Usually I got my wife here.
But I told her to go.
She's a lot better off
with the kids at home
than suffering here with me.
No problem. Anything else?
[man] Want to know what else I need?
A little arak.
Marlboro Golds.
That's what else I need.
Is that right?
My God, what a mistake.
I should never have opened the envelope.
It would have been better not to know.
I would have kept on living.
What good does it do me to know?
I can't enjoy the simple things anymore.
He'll take me when he wants to.
Right?
Oh, here it is.
Here.
Hey, thanks for this.
God bless you.
Goodbye.
-[contemplative music playing]
-[Nisso sighs]
[receptionist] Oh, there you are.
Where did you go?
The doctor can see you now.
That's okay.
Don't you want to sit down?
I'll take it from here.
Nah, I'm grazing as I go.
Wow, Pini.
You know what you're doing, huh?
Thank you. Thanks, Hilik.
Hey, what's that that white piece?
-This?
-The light one, yeah.
That's sweetbread.
Oh. Eh, the spine?
No. Sweetbread is, uh calf tonsils.
You know that when she was three,
Alma had her tonsils out.
Snored like crazy.
-Wow, Pini. It's exciting, huh?
-Yeah.
Uh, you know, it's, uh
that time.
You know, you have to get the nest ready.
Yeah.
And pretty soon our guest unit,
it's just going to be empty.
Just say the word.
There's an artist living there now, but
I appreciate it. I really do, Hilik.
That's very generous, but, I don't know.
-Do you want a beer?
-I'm driving.
So, what do you think, Pini?
Think about what?
Hmm. I told Pini,
since the little guy's coming soon,
our guest unit's going to be empty.
The view is just great.
It's peaceful, and the rooms are enormous.
It's close to your mom. It's a dream.
We can go take a look right now.
So, you want to pop over?
Why not? It'll be fun.
[shower running]
-Salit?
-[Salit] What?
Salit, don't come out in a towel.
I'm showing people around, okay?
-[Salit] Okay.
-The tenant's home? Sure we can do this?
That's the moshav.
Pini, I'm going to tear down this wall,
let things breathe.
There's plenty of room
for a play area, computer table.
Nice and airy.
Hilik, you don't have
to tear anything down.
We really don't know if
Look, I mean, it's the very best location
on the whole property.
Look at that.
The daycare center's close to home.
-You could walk there barefoot.
-Yeah, I guess it's pretty close.
Look, Pini, it's it's interesting.
It's worth considering.
Yeah, there's no harm
in thinking about it.
Pini, with all due respect,
you can't smell fresh strawberries
in Jerusalem, huh?
[Hilik chuckles]
Take a whiff. [inhaling]
See? That's what I'm talking about.
[laughs]
-Who's that?
-Dedi's still around.
-[whimsical music playing]
-[Hilik reprovingly] Dedi, Dedi.
[Pini] What do you mean, "Dedi, Dedi"?
He's naked.
Yeah, you can't blame him.
Yeah, he's a bit Since the war,
he has a few mental problems.
Comes from a good family.
Patriotic.
Uh So does he make friends
like that, with his flagpole out?
Just look away
and that's it, it's gone. Uh
Got your checkbook handy?
[laughing]
Got you, huh?
I'm just fooling around.
These places are for us, right?
[Nitza] Hilik, where the heck did you go?
-Hurry it up!
-All right!
She can only hear me if I shout.
[reggae hip-hop playing]
Hey, Pini. Got a light?
Hmm? No, no, I'm good.
What, going to smoke without telling me?
Want one?
If I want one, I have my own, okay?
Where'd you go, man? We got a kebab.
Nothing more disgusting
than a cold kebab, you know.
Absolutely.
First the cigarette, then the kebab.
[music continues in distance]
[Rotem] Where'd you go?
[chuckles]
No, I was just
just switching out the kegs.
And?
I just sat down.
Sitting alone in the dark,
I think that's your Polish side.
Should I get you a nice warm blanket too?
Why not? Couldn't hurt.
Are you okay?
I just have a headache.
I think you should have
stayed home longer after the accident.
[romantic music playing]
If anything happened to you, I'd die.
Hang on a sec.
Uh
We should get to the bar.
Really?
Yeah, probably.
No one's working the register,
and we didn't do the deposits.
No problem.
You'll pay for this tonight.
[Nisso] Yeah.
I turned off the ice machine
so we don't have to deal
with that puddle again.
You have to replace it.
Yeah.
-Hey, a special occasion?
-No.
But I promised your mother I'd bring those
for your cousin Shabat Hatan.
Oh, then
why don't you just bring it
when you come over?
I thought you could give them to her.
Okay, come on. I parked up the street.
Hey, listen, Rotem?
Why do you look so serious?
[Nisso exhales sharply]
So, what's going on?
You've been acting weird.
Rotem?
Yes, Nisso?
I feel like I need to tell you that
What?
I think this is over.
Funny.
No
I'm serious.
I don't think that we're, uh
What?
Y-You don't need this.
Wow.
Yeah, well, I, uh
[indistinct chatter]
[whimsical music playing]
[Pini] Shhhh
[door slams]
Unbelievable.
Check this out. Look at the stuff
Aharon's hanging on his walls.
And it's all original.
Acrylic.
I think it's Chopin.
Just look at this office.
All the guy does for ten years is collect
envelopes filled with cash, you know?
Then suddenly he wants to meet?
What?
You all right?
-I just had a rough night.
-Hmm.
What was in the baguette?
Told you, Nisso, we're too old for that,
to stay up all night
eating big-ass baguettes filled with tuna.
Me and Rotem
that's it.
As in?
-It's over.
-What?
-Hmm.
-Wait, Nisso, are you serious?
Yeah.
You'll make up in a day or two.
-[door opens]
-[woman] I'm sorry, I had a meeting.
-We've been waiting awhile, you know.
-Mm-hmm.
[Pini] It's a workday.
Think we could get, uh
You want something, Nisso?
I'll just have a coffee. Black's fine.
Black coffee? Come on, look at this place.
I'll have an espresso with soda water.
Yeah, same here. Black coffee with soda.
Okay, come on.
-What?
-Maybe the kitchen's that way.
We could always make it ourselves.
-[intercom beeps]
-Moshik, I need you.
You called?
Two black coffees, thank you.
Hmm. And soda?
Thank you, Oshik.
Moshik. Thank you, Moshik.
What is this?
Aharon's too busy for us?
I'm here, okay? Dad's resting.
Uh Wait a minute.
You're his daughter.
When we started out,
you were so little. [chuckles]
That's right, she was eating
an ice cream cone
when we signed the contract.
Yes, it's been a long time.
Your contract has run out.
-Wait, what do you mean run out?
-Expired.
We have an option to extend for ten years.
Yes, but both parties
would have to agree on that option.
Oh.
No problem. We're on the same page.
-Yeah, we're cool.
-[woman] Hmm.
That's funny.
The two parties are you and us.
I'm glad you're both in agreement.
But I've received a better offer.
So I guess we've come to the end.
Wait, hold on. Parting ways?
You can't do this to us.
The property is ours.
Aharon knows about this?
-I'd like to speak to him, please.
-Daddy's retired.
You have something to say? Go ahead.
It's It's our livelihood.
It's a business, you know?
It's our income.
We're not renting an apartment.
I apologize, we're doing
everything according to the contract.
We haven't done anything wrong.
You can look it up.
Well, that's it, boys.
I have another meeting.
I'm really sorry, guys.
Moshik, make those
two black coffees to go.
[Nisso] Hang on, hang on.
What if we could match the offer,
or even come in a bit higher?
Oh, I don't think that's possible.
What's that?
To be fair, you should
have checked with us first.
The rent's going up 10%.
We could think about it, right?
A cashier's check a year in advance.
Are you kidding me right now?
You guys have a month.
Get your act together.
[dialing number]
Hello. Yes, I'm coming.
I just got held up in a meeting.
No, I'm on my way.
[suspenseful music playing]
[car tires squeal]
What's wrong?
You don't know where you parked?
Which one did you drive here anyway?
Was it Alma's car?
Just can't catch a break here, can we?
Yeah, God damn it.
You know I think that's it.
Now the bar is going to shut down,
I'll move to the sticks with Hilik
and Nitza and their neighbor,
the nudist runner.
Hang on, we're not
shutting down the bar, relax.
[horn beeps]
-There it is.
-Huh?
I'm gonna shit in her BMW.
BMW?
It belongs to that brat,
Aharon's daughter.
Swiped her keys off the desk.
I'm going to get in and drop a deuce.
-And you know why?
-Tell me.
'Cause she's a shithead.
-Turn around.
-You're out of your fuckin' mind.
-Don't be a coward.
-Get the hell out.
-What's wrong with you? Give me the keys.
-What are you doing?
Get in, get in.
We're not leaving,
I wanna drop the kids off at the pool.
You think I'm gonna let you do that?
Get in, come on.
-What?
-How do you turn this damn thing on?
-Where's the ignition?
-Press that.
-[engine starts]
-Oh.
[engine revs]
[sighs]
Why do you always have to go overboard?
Hey, I'm just solving the problem.
Oh, yeah? So what's your plan?
You gonna drive her car off a cliff?
My idea to lay a cable in her back seat
would have sent the message
loud and clear.
-Drive off a cliff? You see a cliff here?
-So, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna sell it.
This will sell really fast.
Then all our problems are solved.
You're gonna sell her car
and give her the money from the sale?
She won't find out?
How would she know? I'm not a car thief.
This doesn't count?
A pretty good idea, right?
Yeah, but I owe it all to you.
Hey, don't pin your crazy ideas on me.
I wanted to take a dump in her back seat.
Take a dump in her back seat?
Are you kidding me? What are you, 14?
It's time to grow up. Ugh.
Come on, Nisso, turn around.
It's not too late.
I'm not giving up the bar.
Want to get out? Should I pull over?
You're a dick.
Hey, there he is.
Who we gonna sell it to?
We're out of our depth here.
I know exactly where to take it.
That time I replaced the door
on Mazi, rest in peace,
a friend sent me to this place once,
and they gave me parts they got illegally.
You got a white door
for a goddamn blue car.
That's neither here nor there.
So that got me thinking.
Where do you think their parts come from?
You want to try the Kavkazi guy?
Yeah, they're real friendly.
[whimsical music playing]
Just like I thought, dude,
no one works this late.
The place is dead.
Now we're stuck with a stolen car.
No way.
They're probably just not open yet.
These places work at night.
Think about it.
It's not a garage, it's a chop shop.
Hey, Nisso, let's get out of here.
How much do you think they'll give us?
Like the Blue Book value?
[scoffs] Think they go
by the Blue Book value?
Car like this usually goes for 200,000.
-What? Did you say 200 grand?
-Yeah.
Who pays 200 grand?
Who? Rich people?
If I gave you $100 million,
would you pay 200 grand for a car?
I'd get like 19 of those.
[ominous music rising]
[quirky theme song playing]
