Logline

A 34-year father–daughter film: Naomi, who lives with Williams syndrome, claims love, work, and a home of her own.

 

Short synopsis (105 words)

 

Naomi’s Questions follows Naomi Allon, 34, who lives with Williams syndrome, as she builds an independent adult life after leaving home at 21. Filmed by her father over more than three decades—mostly in their home in Old Jaffa—the film weaves family archives, present-day scenes, and carefully staged images into a father–daughter dialogue about care, freedom, love, and home. Intimate and visually poetic, it asks how we look at difference and vulnerability. Inspired by the Kabbalistic notion of tikkun—the repair of the world—the film suggests that lives too often labeled “fragile” can illuminate how a society heals and makes room for ordinary dignity.
