Mickey, a young ISA agent and Israeli patriot, is sent on a top-secret mission: to travel in a time machine back to November 1995, and save the life of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Unexpectedly, in mid-1990s Tel Aviv, Mickey meets his future parents, and tries to prevent the betrayal that will ruin their marriage – only to discover a deeper and darker betrayal that he could never have imagined.
After the success of Ringo, playwright Yaron Edelstein, director Amit Apte, and the Cameri | New Generation Group collaborate once again, in a political sci-fi comedy.
