Synopsis:

Bentzi, Momo, and Yuda'leh are three teenage boys growing up in 1950's Israel, which is not much different from 1950's America if you believe what you see in the film. Of course they are obsessed with one thing - sex. Bentzi is interested in the beautiful Nili, but she prefers his friend Momo. Meanwhile, while Bentzi is working delivering ice to people he comes across a voluptous nympho. For some reason he leaves his job and gets his friends, who are promptly invited inside and divested of their virginity in an explicit softcore sex scene. Momo goes first, then the obese Yuda'leh. Before Bentzi can have his turn the nypho's sailor boyfriend suddenly returns from the sea and chases the boys away, Yuda'leh being forced to run away naked. The boys next visit a prostitute and are serviced by her in turn, the experience causing Bentzi to vomit. With all this experience under his belt Momo seduces Nili and impregnates her. He disowns her when she makes this known to him, leaving it to Bentzi to borrow money and sell his bicycle to get money for an abortion.

Lemon Popsicle' follows the hilarious exploits of 3 sex-starved teenagers, Bobby, Benji & Huey. Bobby (Jonathan Segall) is the ladies man, Benji (Yftach Katzur) is the sensitive shy boy & Huey (Zachi Noy) is the mischievous fat boy who is the brunt of most of the films jokes. The plot centres around Benji falling in love with a girl at school called Nikki, but Nikki ends up falling in love with ladies man Bobby & gets pregnant to him. Bobby doesnt want anything to do with the preganancy, so it is left to Benji to make arrangements for her to have an abortion. The plot however, is secondary, to the hilarious situations the characters find themself in & the dynamic Rock n Roll soundtrack.

Boaz Davidson co-wrote and directed this nostalgic schoolboy romance, taking place in 1950s Tel Aviv. The story deals with three young men -- Bentzi (Jesse Katsur), Momo (Jonathan Sagalle), and Yuda'leh (Zachi Noy) -- who only have girls on their minds. The boys, searching for their first sexual experiences, encounter middle-aged nymphomaniacs and unclean hookers. Then things become more serious. Bentzi, shy and introspective, falls in love with a cute girl named Nili (Anat Atzmon), but Nili is in love with Momo. When Momo gets Nili pregnant and then dumps her, Bentzi agrees to stay in Tel Aviv during summer vacation to arrange an abortion. Bentzi confesses his love to Nili, but when summer vacation is over and Momo returns to school, Nili runs back to him.
