The story of three old men, a clever boy and a bank just waiting to be robbed.

12-year-old Yonatan is having a hard time both at school and in life: his father has died and he and his mother suddenly have no money. Then he gets an idea while visiting his grandfather in the seniors’ home. The old man used to rob banks with his friends and is ready for one last heist. Another resident, an Englishman with debts, is also in on the deal. A plan is put into action, but it’s easier said than done.

This Israeli comedy was a hit at home. Although it offers more slapstick than in-depth humor, the wonderful ensemble cast offers some relief – especially Patrick Stewart, who makes the best scenes his own. It’s just too bad that he doesn’t have more of them.
