Based on the 80s Israeli rock opera “Mami” that generated a cult following. This is the story of Mami, a young woman who was born and raised in a small impoverished town down south. She works at the snack bar at the local gas station and is in love with Nissim, her neighbor. Nissim falls into a coma, but Mami doesn’t give up. Eventually her brain gets rewired by eccentric inventor and she becomes a media superstar. Mami establishes a satirical circus and new political party.
