Noam is a peace builder-turned-comedian whose political satire makes headlines across the Middle East. Noam’s about to launch her one-woman U.S. comedy tour when the first coronavirus wave hits.
She returns to Israel but soon finds herself recovering from COVID-19 in a government assigned hotel – where Palestinians and Israelis laugh together. But, as the pandemic sends the world into a tailspin, exposing racial and economic injustice, Noam is reminded how much work needs to be done in Israel.
