The movie called "Shake Your Cares Away" will start shooting early next year in Israel and France.

Written by Shoval with Oscar-winning writers/director Alejandro Gonzalel Inarritu, the story is about a young wealthy Israeli woman who leads a double life as an idealistic woman volunteering at a Tel Aviv soup kitchen.
