Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Erbinka (Haym Topol) is an Israeli drifter who dreams of winning the national lottery in this offbeat comedy. When he fails to win the coveted prize, he robs the lottery office by posing as a director making a film. Erbinka even recruits the police to help him in his efforts, completely fooling the officers. When he needs food, the enterprising Erbinka attends bar mitzvahs and has his fill before anyone realizes he is uninvited.
