Joy Levine lives in a shabby apartment and trudges through a dead-end job with a boss that exploits her. When she auditions for the reality show, "Gotta Be Happy," about forgiveness to be aired after Yom Kippur, she's surprised to find herself chosen. This heartbreakingly unforgettable character with a dysfunctional family must not only let viewers into her private inner-world but conduct a family reconciliation. A masterful work from a director who has the uncanny ability to encompass the endearing and the bleak. Sigalit Fuchs won Best Actress at the Jerusalem International Film Festival and Israeli Academy Awards.

As a child, filmmaker Daniel loved to visit her father's candy stand in Israel's Mahane Yehuda market. After a ten-year-hiatus, she returns to examine the stereotype of the market-stand seller that has shadowed her life and that of her father's. Part of the annual MOMENTS JERUSALEM short-film series, in which 15 young filmmakers define the faces and contours of sublime Jerusalem through the camera lens.
