About the Film
Like an Israeli version of Ocean’s 11 crossed with a spy spoof, this smart espionage satire begins with the alleged mysterious assassination of a terrorist by members of Kidon, an elite division within Mossad, Israeli’s secret service. We follow both a team of Mossad agents and government officials as they try to sort out the truth behind the attack and the beguiling gang of criminals who are behind it. But in this topsy-turvy tale, nothing and no one is quite what or who they seem to be.
