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.
4
5	Absolutely ''not'' to be confused with the incredibly dark ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' Fanfic by the [[Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles same name]].
6	----
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"]].
