The story takes place in Netanya, a coastal city in northern Israel, adjacent to the West Bank. Talk show performer Duare G returned to the stage to give a "only one" performance, which the audience was looking forward to. He told jokes about parrots, advocated a "body tax", and arbitrarily made fun of the female audience members who overdosed on Botox, but suddenly announced that today was his birthday. Childhood memories came flooding back. He talked about his beautiful and melancholy mother, his violent father, and how he walked on his head to avoid being bullied by other children... The audience finally couldn't help interrupting him and asked him to tell the joke again. Retired judge Avishai Lazar stood up and loudly supported Duvale in continuing to tell his story. It was only recently that Lazar remembered that he knew Duvale and wondered if he was missing out on something.
