Programme Overview
Description
When Israeli football player Adir’s dreams of Premier League are coming true, nothing can stand in his way – apart from his family..
Having been spotted by a talent scout for Chelsea Football Club, Adir thinks his dreams of becoming an international soccer player have finally come true. The fame, the game, and the glitzy London lifestyle await him - and he is beside himself with excitement. However, when he lands in the UK - with his pushy father, idle brother, and diva girlfriend in tow - he is surprised to find things are somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Imported tells the laugh-out-loud story of what happens when Adir, his outrageous family and shallow, wannabe girlfriend are “dropped” into their new location and the not-so-glamorous world of UK football. As Adir struggles to fit in and navigate life in a fast-paced city far from home, he is repeatedly held back by the people who supposedly love him the most.
Imported is a “lost in translation” story of culture clashes, family ties, and celebrity, with a helping of mismatched expectations and hilarity in equal measures. Full of universal themes, Imported is the perfect comedy format for international audiences.
