The year is 1969. Into a small town in the Israeli desert, inhabited mostly by Moroccan immigrants, come a few Indian families who have immigrated to Israel seeking a better life. Not only do the Indians end up in a place distant from the mythical ‘West’, they also find themselves embroiled in a feud with the Moroccans.
The award winning film, one of Avi Nesher’s most beloved films and a sensational box office success in Israel, follows the culture war that ensues. Eventually the two sides grudgingly come together over a cricket team and much hilarity follows.
