[ SYNOPSIS ]
Afula Express is a humanistic comedy about love, magic, and the little people who try to make big dreams come true in the big city.
David is a car electrician from Afula, a small town in northern Israel. One day he gets fed up and decides to drop everything and move to Tel-Aviv with only a little savings, a few belongings, and his outspoken girlfriend, Batya, in order to purse his childhood dream, to be magician. There is just one, small factor the couple didn’t take into account. David hasn’t got it. He is the worst magician that ever lived. This leads our two heroes to face up the difference between dreams and reality. Will they discover that magic really does exist?
