Aumari seizes the opportunity and benefits of his identity change as the new key acquisition for the “Maccabi Netanya” team. Despite the absence of any soccer talent, Aumari is able to cover up and heal the divisions of his struggling team while a tender romantic bond with the charmingly unconventional daughter of the team owner is growing.
