Against all odds he decides to run for office as a one-man party, to right wrongs and give Kiryat Malachi a future. But there is still one more obstacle: receiving his father’s Victor blessing. Yosef’s journey is accompanied by singers, musicians, and dancers – a “Greek Chorus” They give Yosef and the town a musical identity, waking it from it’s coma, turning it momentarily into its twin city – Los Angeles. Maybe Yosef will one day make that a reality.
