3 | An Israeli feel-good comedy from 2013 by director Eytan Fox, telling the story of six friends (five women and one [[CampGay very gay man]]) who become the representatives of Israel on an international singing contest (which is not in any way the Series/EurovisionSongContest) after submitting an improvised number to the selecting committee as a joke. |

5 | Absolutely ''not'' to be confused with the incredibly dark ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' Fanfic by the [[Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles same name]]. |

7 | !!This film contains examples of: |
8 | * ActorAllusion: All of the main characters have the same name as their actors, and are based in some way on their public image or their typecast. |
9 | ** Ofer Shechter is known for playing gay charcters - this is his third CampGay role. |
10 | ** Yael Bar Zohar was Israel's number one it girl in the nineties. Her charcter, Yael Kahan, is a former beauty queen who has been scarred by her time in the spotlight. |
11 | * AsHimself: Édouard Baer. |
12 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Keren and Aviv - nerds with a former SpeechImpediment. |
13 | * ButchLesbian: Downplayed with Efrat, who is more indie than butch. Her girlfriend, however, is a full blown {{Tomboy}}. |
14 | * CampGay: Ofer. Brought up to eleven with the director, who sports a dangling golden earring and a snakeskin print shirt. |
15 | * ClosetKey: Fox's favorite trope - a [[PluckyGirl plucky]] [[TheTwink twink]] (Ofer) falls in love with a closeted, StraightGay guy (Assi). Through their relationship the StraightGay finds the courage to come out. |
16 | * ColorCodedCharacters: All the members of the band have a ColorMotif, and are ColourCodedForYourConvenience as per stereotype- [[TeamMom Anat]] is red, [[GoGetterGirl Dana]] is blue, [[TheQuietOne Keren]] is green, [[HelloAttorney Yael]] is yellow, [[ButchLesbian Efrat]] is purple and [[CampGay Ofer]] is white or pink. |
17 | * ComicallySerious: Efrat has shades of this. |
18 | * DaddysGirl: Dana lives with her father at the age of 27 and is very dependent of his approval. |
19 | * FiveTokenBand: discussed. Noticing the band already has two token members - a lesbian and a CampGay, the PR manager jokes that they only need an Arab member to represent all walks of life in Israel. |
20 | * FeminineWomenCanCook: Anat, who runs a bakery. |
21 | * GayBestFriend: Ofer is this to the girls. Somewhat subverted with Efrat, who is also gay. |
22 | * GirlGroup: subverted - they have one male member. In partial drag. |
23 | * GoGetterGirl: Yael and Dana. |
24 | * [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream Guy]]:Ofer to Assi. |
25 | * TeamMom: Anat, who is significantly older than the other members of the band. |
26 | * TransparentCloset: The russian singer, complete with a sequined blazer and a [[TheBeard "wife"]]. |
