About film
It’s been eight years since Noa moved from Israel to Berlin. She is close to graduating and has moved in with her boyfriend Jörg. But all of a sudden, she starts going through a personal crisis, feeling lost and lonely. When a professor rejects her Master’s thesis and her boyfriend leaves on tour with his orchestra, Noa decides to have some rest and visit home. It takes just a few days for the sun, Noa’s family, food, and her native tongue to bring the girl back to life. When her grandmother is admitted to a hospital, Noa welcomes it as a good reason to stay home for a bit longer – she does not want to go back to Berlin.
This German film about an identity crisis of an immigrant in Germany won the «FGYO-Award Dialogue en perspective» at the Berlin International Film Festival.
