Meir and Tova have it all figured out. They live in a nice apartment and every year they go on holiday to Rhodes. But for the rest, their marriage seems to be exhausted. One day, their car is blocked by a sportscar. As it turns out, it belongs to their new neighbour Itzik. To apologise, he invites them for a night of karaoke and they immediately fall for his energetic life style.

‘Karaoke’ is a classic film, only without the clichés. The rhythm is calm, with the occasional humour, drama and emotion. The actors excel in their part and every character breathes a certain ambiguity. The story would fit younger performers perfectly, but the director chose to put an elderly couple in the spotlight, portraying them from an empathic and melancholic perspective.
