A crazy road trip comedy that takes place in Brazil and tells of three Israeli friends who fly to the exotic island of Morro de São Paulo with no money in their pockets. They fly there after one of them falls in love with a Brazilian woman 17 years older than him.

In order to make a living and remain on the island they open a stall and sell Malabi (an Israeli desert comprised of milk pudding, flavoured with vanilla and rose water), similar to the stand one of them owned in Israel.

By accident, when making the rose water for the Malabi, they use a rose called "Bay rose" (this rose grows in South America and Australia and is known to make you high). This causes them to accidentally get all the habitants of Morro de São Paulo high. Rumour of their success travels and quickly tourists from many different countries begin to arrive so they can taste the famous magic Malabi. The three friends start making good money and realise that they have stumbled on a gold mine, only to quickly get acquainted with the Brazilian mafia that demands that everybody who makes money pay them accordingly.

This is the starting point for the crazy journey of the three friends throughout Brazil, during which they experience many adventures- forbidden love, sex with the wrong women, drug experiences that end with an unexpected marriage to a midget, trouble with the local police, a gun fight with the mafia in the favelas of Brazil and many other funny and action filled entanglements.

The first season was filmed in Brazil. Each season will see the three taking their "Magic Malabi express" stall to a different country (Cuba, Morocco, Mexico, Australia). All the while spreading the word about their Malabi and allowing every person in the world to taste their magic which will immediately make them happier, if only for a few minutes.

Produced by Sumayoko and Channel 10.
