Eli Haviv

The debut stand-up special from one of the sharpest, smartest, and most thoughtful comedians around. Eli Haviv shares his journey of leaving the Orthodox religious world and life as a datlash (formerly religious Jew), along with stories about his mother, veterinarians, and paper straws.

Beni and Reuven, childhood friends and brothers-in-law, work together as TV technicians. They are called for a simple repair job in a place they find abandoned and unlocked, with the door wide open. Inside, they are surprised to find a dead body, unaware that the crime scene they have stumbled upon belongs to a known criminal. They make every possible mistake, turning themselves into the prime suspects of the murder case. From this point forward, they try to stay away from both the crime family and the police.

The film is based on the story "Goldfish" by the famous Israeli writer Etgar Keret, paradoxically combining modernity with fiction and the absurd. His heroes are: a young guy Jonathan, who came up with a documentary project in which he will shoot how ordinary people fantasize about what they would ask for from a goldfish; and a poorly speaking Hebrew immigrant from Russia Sergey, who has a real goldfish and has the last unnamed desire.
