"You know, Yossi, we couldn't dress like this in the Philippines. wear earrings, dye our hair, put on make up, lipstick. It's forbidden."In Tel Aviv, Israel, a group of Filipino immigrants work as live-in carers for elderly Orthodox Jewish men. Six days a week they provide dedicated support to their employers. But on the seventh day they transform into a homespun, sassy musical drag act. Meet the Paper Dolls!An extraordinary true story exploring an unlikely collision of cultures and the universal desire to find 'home'.Based on Tomer Heymann's award-winning documentary of the same name, Paper Dolls explores changing patterns of global immigration and expanding notions of family through the prism of a community of Filipino transvestites who live illegally in Israel.
