The story of "Lips" (Sfatayim in Hebrew), a wedding band from Sderot — the first to dare place the Moroccan language at center stage, bringing a new voice to wedding halls and, eventually, to the Israeli music industry as a whole. The band recorded six albums before disbanding in 1998 following internal conflicts. Thirty years later, Haim Uliel, the band's lead singer, loses both his son and his brother — the band's drummer — within a short period of time. In the aftermath of this personal tragedy, he realizes that the only way to rebuild his life is to reunite the band and bring "Lips" back to life.

You cannot understand Israel without understanding David Levy's life story. All the tension that shaped the Israeli identity: periphery-center, Ashkenazi and Mizrachi jews, the "first" Israel and the "second" Israel are all present in the life story of the man who was the king of Israel but did not succeed to become Prime Minister. After 15 years of almost complete media silence, David Levy conducts in front of the camera a self-examination of his life. A self-examination of a politician and statesman, whose life story is very much the significant and central story of the state of Israel in the last decades.
