- Don Quixote armed with a ukulele - protest singer Eitan Ullman embarks on a musical quest to defend authentic Israeli culture against the twin ravages of consumerism and popularism.

Through desolate country towns, shopping centres, historical sites, rehabilitated rubbish dumps and Bedouin desert camps, the journey portrays a society torn between idealism and consumption, rampant development and conservation. Yet, Ullman's dream of bringing about a change with his music begins to crack. Has he been tilting at windmills? McDonald Masada is an understated and insightful observation of contemporary Israeli society and ultimately, a story about a modern troubadour, searching for his voice.
