The unbelievable story of Israel's first candid camera film director
Tuna pulled a hoax on Israel's legendary Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, he filmed the first homosexual prank in the world (in 1967!) and flew in a hot-air balloon to Egypt in order to bring peace between Israel and Egypt.
Big Tuna follows Tuna Schreiber from his early days when he desperately tried to get into the film industry, through his short lasting glory days, until the big fall and the contracted debts as a result of his last and bizarre candid camera film in which he pulled hoaxes not on people but rather on walls and office supplies.
