A tragic-comedy revolving around the classic triangle of ‘teenagers-parents-football referees’. Udi, a quirky, overweight teenager, sets out on a quest to burst out of his suburban wasteland existence and become a superstar sports journalist. The ‘not so proud’ son of ‘Hapoel Petach Tikva Football Club’ most avid fan, Udi thinks he’s got the perfect topic for his first report. His simple trip to stardom takes a surprising turn when he encounters his father’s arch nemesis, football referee, Zachi Pachich. A totally independent, wonderfully shot, bizarrely cast, funny and moving short film from Israel, with modern day sensibilities and a unique authentic feel that should appeal to anyone who loves football (soccer) AND/OR has parents. |
