INSPIRED BY REAL EVENTS
GIVAT SHAUL CEMETERY, 1980.
[rabbi] God of mercy who dwells
in the heights, granting eternal rest
-[prayer continues indistinctly]
-[women weeping]
Come on, Tsahi.
Take the flowers
and say something to Nisso, son.
Just do it.
What should I say, Pini?
How should I know?
What do you say at a funeral,
when your friend's dad died?
Come on, give it to me.
Nisso.
[quirky theme song playing]
BROS
Damn it! Come on!
[howling]
He's not asleep yet.
[man] The area is numb.
Let's do this.
Son of a bitch!
[laughing]
[howling]
[muffled howling]
[howling continues]
[laughing]
[Pini] Nisso?
[Nisso] Hmm [howls]
[howling]
-[Pini groans]
-[woman shrieks]
[woman moaning, screaming] No!
[Pini] You motherfucker!
Pini? Hi, guy.
[woman shrieks]
Where ya been? [laughing]
[both groaning]
Careful. That's the woman I love, man.
[Nisso laughing]
Don't get rid of that cooler.
There could be beer inside.
-Yo!
-Huh?
Come on, get up! Let's go!
-What are you
-Come on!
-Oh, that's nice.
-[strains] Come on!
[Nisso] Pardon me, sir.
[Nisso laughing]
What are you
-[tires squeal]
-Fucking asshole!
You okay back there, Nisso?
Why do you have to ruin that?
You
you shit on my fun.
Oh, so that was fun?
You're an idiot.
Gotta let me have
a little fun before I die.
Yeah, well, you were already pretty close.
They were going to take your kidney, dude.
I'm heading into the woods.
What the actual fuck?
Nisso.
Nisso, don't fall asleep.
Open your eyes, Nisso!
Wake the fuck up!
[explosion]
Hey. You okay?
Yeah. Good.
[sighs]
Man.
Oh, God.
I need water, man.
I don't have any.
I'd give it to you if I did.
I'm not hiding a bottle.
We're fine. We're going
to make it out of here. I got this.
-You know where the hell you're going?
-Sure, yeah.
This is my old stomping ground.
I don't know where we are.
We'll find a house and say, "Let us in."
What's that?
What?
Train tracks, bro.
Look, do you see them?
It's a good sign.
We'll just walk along the tracks
until there's a station.
They'll probably even have a Starbucks.
There's Starbucks over here?
I mean, yeah.
Why wouldn't they, dude?
Let's go.
[Nisso] Why are we walking on the tracks?
You're not worried
we're gonna get hit by a train?
[Pini] We can't miss the station this way.
[Nisso] Yeah.
I'm dying.
We'll be there soon.
No, I'm serious.
I'm dying, Pini.
We just have to get some coffee in you.
You're not listening to me.
The doctor did a biopsy.
What?
Yeah.
Remember that night after the crash,
when they asked me to stay?
They found something.
They found something?
What does that mean?
I have a tumor.
Hang on. Are
Are they sure it's?
Are you sure it's that?
Yeah.
Exactly like my dad.
He died young.
Same genes, same story.
Although he left a family.
What will I leave behind?
I've done nothing.
I have you and
that fucking bar, that's it.
Hang on, hang on.
Nisso.
I want you to tell me
exactly what they said.
Did they explain it?
Hey.
Wait a sec. Is that it?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
This is where it all happened.
Look at that.
Yeah.

[carefree string music playing]
[Nisso] All I wanted
was to leave behind
something, you know.
'Cause when my dad
he left a legacy behind.
He had a family, a home.
But all I have
is the Piniones, what we built together.
So I thought this way
I'd leave something behind.
I wouldn't just die
with nothing, like a loser.
I could actually
leave behind an institution,
something you could depend on,
and then you could
use my memory to earn a living
and I wouldn't mind
if you built a big bronze statue of me
holding an extra fine, just like haa.
Maybe it could bring people in.
[chuckles]
I can't believe
you didn't tell me about this.
I didn't know what to say.
I didn't want to dump this on you.
Wait a minute, dump it on me?
You're like my brother.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Look how small I am.
My whole life
it's just one piece of paper.
-Those the results?
-Yeah.
Unopened?
Yeah.
Are you kidding me, dude?
No, why?
They sent you the results
and you haven't even looked at it?
So you have no idea what the results are,
but you're all pessimistic?
Just because your father had it?
Knowing is terrible if no benefit
comes from the knowledge.
Where did you hear that?
Tiresias.
Hmm.
Wait, the goalie?
No.
From the [clicks tongue]
Greek play we did in theater club
in junior high, remember?
The guy screws his mother.
Ah.
And, uh you played the blind guy.
You smacked Yaniv
with your white cane, right?
He deserved it.
-Oedipus.
-[chuckles]
What was up with that dude?
The blind guy was the prophet.
He knew it all.
And he also knew that sometimes
you're better off not knowing,
'cause it might only bring you pain.
No kidding?
I can't believe you remember.
I didn't have many lines.
Get it now?
I don't know if the blind guy
was as smart as you think.
He's Greek, he's really old.
I'm guessing he's a drunk.
He was probably out of his mind.
Not knowing is no way to live your life.
How can you carry that weight inside you?
You could just be optimistic about it.
You know?
Why not just be optimistic?
-Okay, I'm optimistic about it.
-No, you're not living that way.
Walking around
like you're doomed isn't optimism.
-Let me open it.
-No, no, no.
I don't want to
-It's not a good time, okay?
-When is a good time?
I just don't think
I'm ready yet, all right?
I guess so.
Hey, wait a minute.
Why do you say that?
[Pini] We've had a streak of bad luck.
That's for sure.
The accident, brawling with Nazis, the
kidney thing.
We need some momentum first,
something good has to happen.
Yeah.
-I guess bad luck comes in streaks, huh?
-Good luck does too.
Just think about it.
Beitar ties the game today,
and they're in the Champions League,
that's the dream.
-That'd be good.
-It would be a good sign, right?
Then
would you open it?
With me?
I'm too afraid.
[Pini] Give it to me.
I'll hold on to it and I'll open it.
Only open it if we win, Pini.
I swear on Beitar, all right?
[in Hebrew] Go, Beitar!
[Nisso] Looks like that wacko
David Poni showed up.
[Pini chuckles]
Alma?
Alma!
What are you doing here?
Are you all right?
Everything's fine.
It's all good.
Really. It's okay.
Don't worry.
[upbeat music playing]
[fans] Beitar!
[commentator] Fans are pouring out
for Beitar Jerusalem Football Club,
a big night as the match at Kraków begins
with hundreds of fans traveling to Poland
and thousands more in Israel.
Beitar Jerusalem
could secure an historic rise
into the Champions League.
[Beitar fans cheering]
[Pini] There they are, the bad guys.
We wear yellow, they wear red, understand?
-[Alma] Hey, whoa.
-[Pini] Nachum, dude.
-Why don't you watch out?
-Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I see beer at a stadium,
I gotta buy a few.
-Why don't we have it at ours?
-Beer? You kidding?
You can barely get Coke.
It never has any fizz.
Yeah, beer at Teddy, keep dreaming.
Do you think Europeans
come to our stadium?
Imagine, all those drunks
up in the stands.
Total Armageddon.
Absolutely.
It would be total football chaos.
The stands would turn into a battlefield.
Even the cops would be screwed.
I guess you're right.
I didn't think about that.
That's 'cause you don't think.
I know I'm not smart like you.
I get your problem with me, okay?
What are you talking about?
Yeah. I'm not clever enough.
You're ashamed of me.
What
But I'm not ashamed.
I know it bothered you, when they shouted.
It's okay.
That's who I am, really.
I don't let people get me down.
You should be
with someone who's in your league.
Why did he give me this beer?
He doesn't know?
No. Come on.
I didn't tell everyone in the stands.
One small taste won't hurt, right?
One little sip is fine,
but hold on to it, I'll finish it.
-Did you really not open the test results?
-I gave him my word.
Okay, fine.
You can reseal it, you know.
Isn't the curiosity killing you?
God willing, we'll win today.
Then later we'll open the envelope.
Whether he's sick or not, I don't see
how it makes sense to keep the bar open.
His health should really be his focus.
No. I don't think so.
I think in his situation
he should be thinking
about the bar to distract himself.
You know what I'm saying?
His state of mind,
that's what really matters, his psychol
-You know.
-Hmm.
[blows whistle]
[fans chanting "Make them pay!"]
No, no, not today!
Look out, Wisła, you will pay!
No, no, not today!
Look out, Wisła, you will pay!
No, no, not today!
Look out, Wisła, you will pay!
No, no, not today!
Look out, Wisła, you will pay!
No, no, not today
He knocked him down 30 meters
from the goal post, what is that?
Come on, should he have
just let the guy go through him?
-Man, he's fast, God damn.
-Absolutely.
Man is he fast, bro.
Hey, Yaffit, are you too tense to talk?
What? Please.
Yeah, I'm tense, okay?
Better watch yourself, goalie.
Kale, watch your back!
-Build a wall.
-[Pini] Stop! What's the matter?
You're so negative. It's 70 meters.
There's no way he can score from there.
See, the keeper's on it.
He's lining them up.
-Fuck! Come on!
-No!
[Nisso] God damn it!
God, how the hell could he miss that?
Come on, he's amazing.
It was just bad luck.
Beitar!
Beitar!
-[blowing horn]
-[fans] Beitar!
-[drumming stops]
-[Yaffit groaning]
Wow, wow, wow. See what I mean?
They're no match for us.
We have to stay in this
and stick it to them!
Idan Tal, try aiming at the goal.
Maybe it'll bounce off someone's ass!
Good work there, Beitar!
[chanting "Go Beitar" in Hebrew]
Listen to them, Nachum.
When you chant, they all follow you.
It's like you're the Prime Minister.
He's right.
You mean it?
[chanting resumes]
[Nisso] Oho!
[Pini] No foul, no foul.
How is that not a foul?
He slid into the box. That's a foul.
It's okay, because now Kale is going
to have to save it fast, he owes us.
Why does he owe you?
Uh I'll explain it to you later, Alma.
Yaffit, let's start booing
and mess with them.
[fans booing, whistling]
Keep it movin'! The guy's open!
-[crowd roaring]
-Shit! Come on, come on!
-Shit, that was a great penalty shot.
-That was a German style kick, man.
Wait, but isn't the red team Polish?
He was speaking in a metamorphosis,
an allegory, if you will.
When he said "German style penalty,"
it means it was
a really good shot, God damn them.
-Damn it. I don't need to see more.
-It's over.
Hey, come on. Hold on a minute.
We score one time
and we're back in this thing.
All right, come on, wake your asses up!
I got to go to the bathroom.
Rotem, you coming?
Leave her alone.
She's watching the game.
Why do girls have to go in pairs anyway?
Come on, I'm going.
Stay out of trouble.
Honestly, I can't wait
for this nightmare to be over with.
I didn't know you were such a diehard fan.
You think I'm talking about the match?
Nisso?
Yeah, it's nothing. Just
It's really hard when he's so obtuse,
but I thought
since we're here together, I
we'd figure it out, but we're not.
Wait, Rotem. Um
What?
Pini's going to kill me, but fuck that.
I'm not going to play by their rules.
[Rotem] What are you talking about?
Do you want to know
what's going on with Nisso?
He's stubborn and dumb?
Well, I won't deny that, but
I have to tell you.
So what? Big deal. Zero to three.
I mean, Liverpool came back
from Milan, right?
And we don't need three.
Two's fine for this game.
Pini's right, dude.
If we can manage two goals,
we're good because they're away goals.
There won't even be overtime
on the clock for penalties.
David, what are you doing?
Shut the door.
What's wrong with you?
You have the envelope?
In my pocket.
What are you doing?
You're not opening it today.
-The game's not over, you hear me?
-Still.
-Nisso.
-Hmm?
How could you be so selfish, huh?
Wait, wait. Why am I selfish?
I know.
-You know what?
-About the results.
-Wait, wait one second.
-How could you do this?
Just lie about it?
Not a child. Is this what
you meant by "We have no future"?
Don't you think I deserve to know this?
-I don't know what to say.
-You should have told me.
You should have trusted me.
I'm sorry, I thought
I was part of your world.
I guess you just don't agree.
Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.
Hold on, okay?
What?
I really need you.
-You're a fool, you know.
-I'm sorry, Rotem.
I'm just usually
really good at reading you.
How could you hide something like this?
How did you find out?
Alma told me.
-Alma?
-Why does it matter?
You thought you could hide this from me,
just cut me out of your life and move on?
-I didn't want to burden you with it.
-Burden me?
It's us.
I'm in love with you.
We're together.
I thought you wouldn't understand.
This happened to me with my dad.
And I remember it.
Like he was there one minute,
then he wasn't.
And I wanted to spare you.
Then you thought if we broke up
and then you found out
the biopsy was bad news
that would make things easier?
You'd look at me like,
"I hope you burn in hell."
I need you, you know.
Look, you haven't even opened it yet.
You're imagining all this.
So what?
I've always had an active imagination.
[chuckles]
You dummy.
No way they're getting
near the goal, look at them.
[Nachum] Come on. They look dead.
They're not even trying.
Someone needs to get past their defense.
What's going on there?
You'll be thanking me soon.
Girlfriend. [blows horn]
Hey, look at me.
Get up, just for a second.
Let my friend sit down there, okay?
Take a seat.
Come on.
It's good luck to switch seats.
What did you say to her?
Why did you butt in?
-You just can't help yourself, can you?
-It's all right, I'm good.
-[Nisso sighs]
-[crowd cheering]
Okay, guys, just relax.
Don't blow it out of proportionism.
It's just football, right?
It's a lot more than football,
David, and don't forget it.
Everything's riding on it for Nisso.
You told everyone about it?
What? Yaffit was
just asking what happened too.
Bro, are
Are you actually getting
back together again with Rotem?
-I think.
-That's positive momentum, right?
[Nisso clicks tongue]
Hey, we're out of it.
I'm not hopeful here, bro.
I'm saying you should look
at the bigger picture here, Nisso.
They're humiliating us. It's terrible.
What bigger picture, dude?
The agony of defeat.
Everyone watching the game on TV
are laughing at us right now.
Nachum? Can I use your cell?
I'm out of overseas minutes.
-After the game or now?
-[Rotem] Yaffit, don't call your dad.
-He's probably mad about the match.
-All right.
Here.
-What's this? I'm locked out.
-Wait.
[Nachum chuckles]
Oh, man, I got so distracted, I forgot.
-Pini.
-What, Nachum?
[Nachum] Hey, I found your phone.
-What?
-[Nachum chuckles]
-How?
-To be honest, it was all Yaffit.
I didn't do anything.
In the hotel lobby, I heard you
say to Karmi that you told Pini
to go to the lost and found
and he made fun of you.
Are you stalking me?
Is that it?
Yeah. That's right.
[Pini] So wait, how did you
wind up with my phone?
Anyway, I went to the lost and found.
Turns out Polish people
are damn organized.
I told them it's a cell phone with
a Beitar menorah in black and yellow.
There it was. [laughing]
The game had me so excited,
it totally slipped my mind.
Wait, so you really went
just because I mentioned it?
I'm a good listener.
[crowd cheering]
I don't want to be here.
We should leave.
Hey, come on. Sit down.
Forget the game.
You want a beer?
Just sit down, Nisso, sit.
The gates aren't even open, fool.
Come on. It doesn't mean anything.
Who cares if they lose?
His life has nothing to do with it.
Your logic is so fucked up.
Yeah, I'm not clear on it either.
It doesn't mean anything.
Look at the results already.
Stop torturing yourself.
Don't forget that on our wedding day,
Beitar lost their big medal.
Come on, it's not the Olympics.
There are no medals.
Remember, we lost to Hapoel?
Fine. Sorry, I forgot all about that.
I was busy at our wedding.
Just checking, was that a rough day?
It wasn't, no.
No? So what's with you?
[phone beeping]
I don't believe it.
Who was it, that Adir guy?
-Mm-hmm.
-What?
-Three hundred thousand?
-Yeah.
-He'll take the bar?
-Mm-hmm.
[whispering]
Hey.
Listen to this message
I just got from Adir.
Whatever he offered, I'll take it.
Three hundred thousand.
Oh.
That's a lot of money.
All right, let's do it.
[dials phone]
Hey, hang on till we leave.
You won't be able to hear.
Adir, you nailed it.
I'm sorry, no.
I just wanted to let you know
that our bar is no longer for sale.
Wait, what are you doing? Hold on.
It's just, we just decided
to expand the place,
do some renovations
and build an awesome underground club.
Best of luck, Adir.
Wait, are you for real?
It's a lot of money, Pini.
Sure. And some things
are worth more than money.
Well, you can't get sick now.
You have to renovate a bar.
What if the biopsy results are
I'll be with you through it all.
I'll be here.
-I'm always here.
-[Alma] You got me too.
And me.
Absolutely.
[Yaffit laughs]
All of us are with you.
It's going to be okay.
Remember that promise
I made when we were little?
Of course.
[young Pini] Nisso.
What?
Uh, I
I I got you.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
What are you sorry for?
Uh
I, uh
I'm with you, no matter what.
Beitar Jerusalem.
Why are you talking
about Beitar Jerusalem?
They belong together.
Yeah.
