A long-married couple living in an upscale Tel Aviv highrise becomes obsessed with their new, charismatic neighbor and his karaoke parties.

Meir and Tova are a Sephardic, upper-middle-class couple with two grown daughters, seemingly resigned to their semi-retirement in the banal comforts of an upscale apartment complex in a Tel Aviv suburb.

When Itsik, a charismatic bachelor and former modeling agent, moves into the building’s penthouse and invites them to one of his Karaoke parties, their lives are gleefully upended. The couple soon becomes obsessed with the bachelor, competing for his attention while acting out long-dormant ambitions and desires, as they go on their own humorous but deeply human journeys of self-exploration.
