Eritrean refugee Omari is dishwasher in Tel Aviv who is about to be deported. When he shows up at the airport to be escorted to the plane taking him back to Eritea, he manages to escape. As he hides at Ben Gurion, he is mistaken for a Nigerian soccer star who is supposed to arrive to play for Maccabi Netanya--and who luckily for Omari doesn't show up. Treated as a star, all Omari has to do is learn how to play soccer. And live the high life of an athlete.
