BosBros is the producer of the family feature film The Zigzag Kid, based on the famous book by the Israeli author David Grossman.
Nono wants to be like his father – the best police inspector of the world – but he always gets himself into trouble. Two days before his Bar Mitswah he’s sent away to his uncle Sjmoel, in order to keep him to the straight and narrow. However, on the train Nono gets a last chance to prove himself…
Along with master burglar Felix Glick – an old acquaintance of his father – he’s able to stop the train and then he enters a world of disguises, chases, French chansons and Zohara, a mysterious lady whose secrets will change Nono’s life forever.
