Shabtai, a junk peddler and Herzel, his aide, drive through the streets of Tel Aviv buying and selling used-up furniture and trash. Now and again Shabtai takes a nap and in his dreams a seductive and passionate red-haired woman makes love to him. One day Shabtai discovers her photograph in a face-cream advertisement and realizes the the woman of his dreams exists in reality. He sets out to fing her. But it is Herzel who first wins her attention and then her heart. Herzel, however, loves Batya, Shabtai's daughter.. Out of the Blue is an urban fairy tale, an inverted Cinderella story. Instead of a poor kind hearted young girl - two elderly machos on a decrepit motorcycle; instead of a prince - a princess; instead of a shoe found at midnight - a shabby ping-pong table abandoned in a parking lot.
