Dance Until The Morning Light

Amir and Maya are officially Israel’s worst criminals,
so painfully bad at robbing places that local cops actually feel sorry for them. But when they accidentally pull off the biggest jewelry heist in national history, they become Most Wanted overnight. Panicked and clueless, they flee to Brazil, landing straight in a chaotic Rio favela to beg their estranged cousin to hide them. He completely shuts them down until they get into trouble with local gangs, forcing him to make a hilarious, high-stakes deal: he’ll protect them only if they join his dangerously dysfunctional Samba school and dance in the official Rio Carnival.
