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.
