In Karaoke, a middle-aged Israeli couple’s humdrum life takes a surprising turn when they’re drawn into the magnetic orbit of their flamboyant neighbour, a bachelor who hosts lively karaoke parties. What begins as curiosity becomes a catalyst for reflection, rekindled desires, and midlife awakening. Both funny and tender, Moshe Rosenthal’s bittersweet comedy explores aging, acceptance, and the universal need to feel seen.

Rialto Recommends: Karaoke. A sharp, funny, and deeply human gem, Karaoke turns quiet suburban life into a stage for reinvention. With warmth and wit, Moshe Rosenthal captures what it means to crave connection in a world that’s stopped listening. Equal parts humour and heartbreak, this is a love song to life’s second acts best enjoyed with the volume up.
