Synopsis

The story of Tziporela, a unique theater troupe of close friends who create hilarious virtuoso independent theater. They operate as a co-op unit in which the members write, direct, produce, act - and even sweep the stage after the show.

After conquering the Tel Aviv stages and achieving cult status, they aim to spread their creative collective method. Their dreams range from Off-Broadway to changing the face of Israeli theater. As time passes, the need to grow up and compromise puts their principles and aspirations to the test - and their friendship, too. Tziporela is the great experiment they staked everything on. It feels that as long as they're together, no dream is beyond reach.
