Noa is working on a special wordbook of untranslatable words which usually are missing in foreigners’ vocabulary. Unfortunately this topic doesn’t work out for a scholarship. Noa escapes from Germany to Israel, hoping for comfort but teasing her beloved. Her family must arrange with Noa’s German boyfriend, as he is following her to find out what is going on. Now everybody is on an expedition to answers.
"Johannes Praus’ exploratory camera shows an interest in closeups and effects of light, nicely balanced with shots that establish characters in connection with others. A youth award in Berlin, 'Dialogue en perspective', says as much about the earnestness of contempo Germany’s philo-Semitism as about the pic’s ability to engage in cross-cultural dialogue." (Variety)
Biography: Ester Amrami was born in Kfar Saba/Israel and has been living in Berlin for ten years. Her first short documentary BERLIN DIARY won the competition "Gestures of Reconciliation" donated by the Goethe-Institut and led her to her studies of film directing at the Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen (HFF) "Konrad Wolf". There she directed several short films that were shown at international film festivals. Among them the "Next Generation" programme in Cannes 2012. With her final project ANDERSWO she presented her first feature-length film.
