Magshimim High (2026)
Overview
A cinematic rock opera and an homage to teen films, adapted from the stage musical with the same name by Amit Ulman, scripted completely in Hebrew rhymes. Yoav, a teenage boy who lives with his single mother, who struggles to finance them, moves to a new city. He joins Magshimim High, where words hit harder than punches, and your rhyming skills determine the food chain. After the "class king" demolishes him in a rap battle, Yoav is determined to prove himself and win the heart of the "class queen", Maya. He encounters Hamorabi, a legendary former rapper who hides under the image of the school's kiosk cashier. With his help, Yoav turns from an outcast to the Star of the Battles. But as he climbs high, he draws apart from the friends who stood by his side, the girl who really saw him when no one else had, and the authenticity taught to him by Hamorabi. In the National Rap Championship, Yoav will have to choose between chasing the shining lights of fame or staying true to himself.
