Леди Тити

Tootsie meets Raining Stones: Up-and-coming performer Worko aka Kai [Zvika Hizikias) -- a member of Israel's marginalized Ethiopian community -- is being pursued by loan sharks, so in order to evade them, he flees back to his old 'hood, "goes underground" posing as a woman, and gets a job facilitating Ethiopian women's empowerment workshops at the local community center, where he falls for his female coworker, Alsech [Elza Almo]. The Ashkenazi community center director [Lirit Balaban] makes herself out to be a tireless advocate for the surrounding Ethiopian community, while she actually has no respect for their plight and condescends to them at every turn. Meanwhile a local Ethiopian has been hired by one of the loan sharks to find Worko, which after many failed attempts, he finally does, leading to near-tragedy. It all works out, but not before Worko imperils his hapless uncle and clueless immigrant mother [Tehila Yeshayahu Agada].
