Amir and Sayron wrote the film and play the leads, two small-time enforcers for a Jerusalem mob protection racket, who find their lives in flux when they survive a terrorist suicide bomb. They readjust, and go to the Wailing Wall, where they begin to fulfill the wishes of those who traditionally leave notes at the shrine. The two writer/actors have created some hugely popular TV shows in Israel, including “Scarred,” “Asfur” and “Ma Bakarish.”
