First aired as a four-part series on Israeli television, this 2009 film has often been compared favorably to the hit American TV show "Glee". The engaging story centers on a young gay man named Meir, who is searching for his mother who disappeared on his tenth birthday. To deal with the traumatic loss, he lies to everyone (including himself) that she has taken the stage name Mary Lou and is the back-up singer to real-life Israeli pop star Svika Pick. As an adult, he decides to finally reunite with his mom and sets off for Tel Aviv where his life takes some very surprising turns.

The film is screened in Hebrew with English subtitles.
