Paper Dolls is an award-winning 2005 documentary by Israeli director Tomer Heymann, which follows five Filipino transsexuals who have emigrated to Israel to work as health care providers for elderly, Orthodox Jewish men. On their nights off, they perform in Tel Aviv nightclubs as a drag group called "Paper Dolls."
Although the task of taking care of the elderly is not easy, the liberal atmosphere of their adopted country has allowed the Paper Dolls to be free despite being viewed as outsiders.
