In Tel Aviv, a group of friends meet to watch the Universong song contest. The friends are unimpressed by the Israeli entry and start singing their own song. A mobile phone recording of the singing goes viral and the group are selected as the Israeli entry for the next Universong.
The song contest in Cupcakes is modelled on the Eurovision Song Contest.[3] Fox said that he wanted to make a "feel good movie" with Cupcakes.[4]
