Fading from the spotlight of his late 90's mega-fame, boy-band icon Bobby Starr is clinging to days gone by and begging his agent Murry to land him a decent gig. What Murry does land for Bobby is a full week headlining the grand opening of the world's first Glatt Kosher hotel-casino, Mazel Hotel.
As it turns out, the real force behind Bobby Starr's curious invitation to this Orthodox otherworld is the hotel owner's persuasive daughter Rebekka, who has harbored a huge crush on Bobby since childhood...
Rebekka's only release from the pressures of preparing to be a future Rebitsin (Rabbi's wife) comes from singing along to Bobby's songs with her best friends Hani and Fani. The girls must sing in secret, since their religion bars them from singing in public...
...Arranging for Bobby Star to play at her father's hotel might have started out as an act of rebellion for Rebekka, but as our story unfolds we see it is more a cry for help. And when infatuation blossoms into romance, Bobby offers Rebekka a once-in-a-lifetime ticket to freedom from the constrictive life that threatens to hold her back forever.
Lyonne will play the part of Fani, a young orthodox Jewish girl with a wild side. Always dreamed of working (or dumpster diving) with Lyonne? Producers of the movie are currently looking for extras to appear in the film.
