The Band's Visit (Eran Kolirin)

An eight-member police band from Egypt has landed at Tel Aviv airport. They are supposed to play at the opening of a cultural centre in Petah Tikva. But no one is there to receive them. So they try to get to their destination themselves, even though the information they receive tends to lead to misunderstandings. Finally, they take the bus to Bet Hatikva, where they get off at a bus station in no man's land, loaded with wheeled suitcases and musical instruments.
