Two friends in Tel Aviv. One is an ageing hippy warden on Metzitzim Beach, who steadfastly refuses to grow up and spends most of his time chasing peeping Toms away from the shower rooms – whilst himself liking nothing more than to secretly watch his mates enjoy their romantic interludes in the beach huts. The other, played by Arik Einstein, one of the most influential and popular musicians in Israel, is a guitarist who dreams of opening a night club. Director Uri Zohar plays the beach warden and with Metzitzim created a cult film and the mother of all Israeli comedies. Supported by
