Canteen Commando

From the heart of the army's most secretive Special Operations unit comes CANTEEN COMMANDO, a sharp, hilariously awkward comedy inspired by creator Eran Zarahovich’s unforgettable—and sometimes repressed—memories of military service.

Aviram Zissu (44), the Special Ops unit's self-important, ruledodging sergeant, has spent decades crafting a cushy, semicorrupt, double life at the base. From phantom degrees to secret romances and passive-aggressive leadership, Aviram's world is thrown into chaos when his insecure, snack-slinging son, Rani, becomes the new "Canteen Commando."

Rani Zissu (19), a Walmart version of young Woody Allen— smart, funny, and very insecure due to a palpable birthmark on his face, has a fear of alpha males, and a lifelong desire to avoid anything remotely heroic. However, the army has other plans in store. Rani finds himself in a living nightmare being posted on a special ops base which he never meant to join. Worst of all, he's stuck serving under the unit’s detestable sergeant—his own estranged father, Aviram. The father and son are forced to coexist in a place built for action heroes—not awkward family reunions.

Rani must survive surprise drills, misguided mentorship, and the most passive-aggressive toastie orders known to man. Whilst trying to survive, Rani also tries to win Naama's heart, a sharp-tongued counter-terrorism clerk with no patience for macho nonsense. In his quest to prove himself to Naama—and maybe, just maybe, to his father—Rani might just discover that courage comes in many forms. Even if it's buried under layers of pretzels and PTSD.
