What happens

April Fool (Hebrew: אחד באפריל, romanized: Ehad B'April) is a 1989 Israeli children's slapstick comedy, written and directed by Menachem Zilberman, and starring Tzipi Shavit and Sefi Rivlin. Among the children appearing in the film is Natasha Braunstein, who later launched a successful film career as Natasha Lyonne. The film was narrated by actress Sarit Baruch Sari. The film was made at a time when practical joke reality television and films were popular in Israel. It was essentially a parody of the genre. Menachem Zilberman wrote and directed the film, which starred Sefi Rivlin and Tzipi Shavit, two of Israel's leading entertainers at the time, in the hope of creating a blockbuster, but the film proved to be a commercial failure.
