Karaoke
Meir & Tova are a middle-aged couple living in an upscale high rise building in Tel Aviv. They are that old married couple too comfortable with each other & feeling like they are in a rut just living their boring lives. Tova, she is more of an extrovert, where as Meir, he is more introverted. When Itzik, a modeling agent from Miami, moves into the penthouse above & everything begins to change. He is worldly & a handsome bachelor with connections & is living a lavish lifestyle. When Itzik makes a parking faux pas, he tries to make amends by inviting Meir & Tova to his place for a little karaoke party, Tova & Meir become obsessed with the new neighbor & compete for his attention. As more building resudents also take an interest in Itzik, the loud karaoke parties increase & building complaints escalate. This Israeli comedy/drama is mostly in Hebrew with English subtitles.
