NOODLE
Directed by Ayelet Menahemi (Israel, 2007, 90 Minutes, Color, In Hebrew/ English/ Mandarin, with English subtitles)
Synopsis:
At thirty-seven, Miri is a twice-widowed, El Al flight attendant. Her well-regulated existence is suddenly turned upside down by an abandoned Chinese boy whose migrant-worker mother has been summarily deported from Israel.
The film is a touching comic-drama in which two human beings -- as different from each other as Tel Aviv is from Beijing -- accompany each other on a remarkable journey, one that takes them both back to a meaningful life.
Cast: Mili Avital, Baoqi Chen, Anat Waxman, Alon Aboutboul, Iftach Klein ). Winner of the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Montreal World Film Festival, 2008.
