Festival Screening – Thursday, July 16, 2015 @ 8:30 PM Jerusalem Cinematheque

In the 1980s magicians Chicko and Diko were huge stars. They were regulars on the hit TV show “Shminiyot Ba’Avir,” had hundreds of sold-out shows with Ofra Haza – Israel’s biggest pop star, won the Israeli Emmy award, received thousands of fan letters, and owned a thriving magic business. Every kid knew them. Then came the fall. Chicko was charged with rape, pressed with criminal charges, ran away from Israel, and his career ended abruptly. Today – 20 years later – his father Diko sits in his small magic shop, planning his comeback with his loyal sidekick “The Legendary Yoav,” still believing their star will shine again.
