    Joy Levine is a little shabby and rough on the outside, yet filled with joy on the inside. One day she signs up to be a candidate on a TV show, GOTTA BE HAPPY. To her astonishment, she is chosen to throw a surprise party for her parents on live TV. But, there will be a price to pay: she has to let the viewers into her private inner world and reveal an event that has been overshadowing her family's life for 22 years. With forgiveness as the theme, the show will be aired just after Yom Kippur. Joy needs to get all her parents' friends together to conduct the reconciliation. Unfortunately, reality keeps getting in the way. With Joy taking the lead, for once someone is leading the Levine’s to a better place. Joy is a heartbreakingly unforgettable character and the rapturous Sigalit Fuchs is pitch perfect in her depiction. The film is a masterful work from a director who has the uncanny ability to encompass the endearing and the bleak, the innocent and the unpleasant. With richly drawn characters, Shles captures and intensifies the joys and pains of modern life – as seen on TV. ~ AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival Director: Julie Shles Country: Israel Year: 2005 Runtime: 90 minutes Hebrew with English subtitles Awards: Israeli Film Academy - Best Actress/Best Costume Design/Best Supporting Actress/ Best Music, Jerusalem International Film Festival – Best Actress, Syracuse Film Festival – Best Actress/Best Music/Best Middle Eastern Film Principal Cast: Sigalit Fuchs, Tal Friedman, Keren Mor, Yossi Polak, Rivka Michaeli, Alexander Senderovich, Dorit Bar-Or Producer: Amir Harel Cinematographer: Itzik Portal Editor: Ido Mochrik Music: Avi Belleli
