A group of close friends celebrate the bittersweet changes coming to their lives during the summer of their high-school graduation: adult responsibilities, adult romance -- and the soberingly adult fact that some of their number are being drafted into the Israeli army. This has very much the feel of a high-school beach-party movie -- with music, and in Hebrew -- until a sudden and disturbingly realistic reminder of their own mortality finally slashes through the kids' cheerful, close-knit obliviousness.
A fairy helps children face their fears and gives them a friend.
The grand celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Festigal is taking the stage. Legendary stars of previous Festigal shows have assembled to honor the show's legacy and revisit their classic songs. But behind the scenes, not everything seems to go according to plan. Previous villains of the Festigal show are furious that they weren't invited to join the celebration. Led by their anonymous leader, they scheme to sabotage the production. Due to COVID restrictions, the show couldn't be performed live. Therefore, it was pre-recorded and streamed online, with multi-choice interactive moments, "choose your own adventure"-style, using the Eko platform.
Just as the Festigal is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary, the COVID outbreak prevents it from taking place. Disappointed children and stars rally together to protest the legendary director, Hanoch Rosen, not to give up on the show, exactly when the kids of 2020 need it the most. The short film serves as a prologue to the full show and its preceding online activities, as well as an introductory video to the interactive elements of the Eko system, through which it was originally released.
