Israeli TV series "Shababniki", 2017. It tells about four young people (they are 23 years old) studying in a religious educational institution - yeshiva, and this is such an elite yeshiva. It is not known whether they are going to become rabbis, one of them, who has even American citizenship, is also studying to become a lawyer. It all begins with the fact that one of them - Gedalia, an excellent student, suffering from fear of the opposite sex, the rabbi sends to live in a room with an extraordinary trinity - Avinoam, Meir and Dov Leiser, who is somewhat different from the rest of the hesitants in that he shows interest in the outside world, he hopes that in this way he will be able to liberate him and eventually marry. Marriage there is also a difficult process, everything is done through official matchmakers, selecting couples, and the guys are all like one, virgins and never even touched girls. But after a while, another rabbi is appointed to the yeshiva, who establishes draconian laws there - suppresses cellphone and Internet signals, turns off hot water, feeds them anything, ostensibly in order to focus on their studies, tries to neutralize this group and starts. Our four can not be indifferent to this and all their adventures begin here. In the end, they will win, but they will be punished for winning, but perhaps they are ready to live outside the yeshiva? I loved the series, it was very dynamic. And Shabbans in the film translates as outcasts.
