Meni Azulai, who arrives at Teddy Stadium every Saturday with a supermarket cart. Not for the game itself, Meni isn’t even a football fan. He's a lone wolf with an explosive temperament. Though the game doesn’t interest him, when he saves a man who turns out to be the leader of the club’s radical fan organization, the police force him to become an undercover agent against his will.

A comedy-drama starring Shalom Assayag, who also created the series alongside his son Daniel Assayag, and which feels like a spiritual prequel to their previous collaborative series, “The '80s” and “The '90s,” though this time without Meni Assayag as a writer. The plot goes back in time to 1950s Israel and follows Eliyahu Ben Simon (Assayag) and his family, who arrived from Morocco straight into the overcrowded, difficult, and precarious life of an immigrant transit camp. As they try to find their place in their new country, the family members are forced to deal with bureaucracy, neighbors, and a reality that doesn’t always match the dream that brought them here—but always with humor and a zest for life.
