About MARY LOU:
Acclaimed Israeli director Eytan Fox (The Bubble, Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger) brings to life a modern fable with a catchy musical message, based on the songs of Israeli pop legend Svika Pick. Meir, a young man from a small town, searches for his mother in Tel Aviv—where he finds fame as a drag queen in this top-notch musical. In the genre of the TV hit Glee, this modern fable accounts Miriam’s dream of becoming a famous singer, leading her to disappear mysteriously, abandoning her son, Meir, on his 10th birthday. Now in high school, Meir and his best friend are eyeing the same gorgeous guy. Meir struggles to find himself as he continues to search for his mother. Revealing Tel Aviv’s colorful gay scene, Mary Lou features performances of the music of Israel’s pop legend, Zvika Pik, who appears as himself.Best Mini-Series, Israeli Emmy Awards 2010CommunityPartner • B’nai Keshet.
