Naomi’s Questions is an intimate and poetic documentary about Naomi, a 34-year-old woman with Williams syndrome. Filmed by her father over more than thirty years—mainly in their family home in Old Jaffa—the film explores Naomi’s journey toward independence after leaving home at 21. Blending archival footage, present scenes, and poetic re-enactments, the film becomes a cinematic letter—a dialogue between a father and his luminous daughter. Through this personal and collective memory, it questions how we perceive difference, vulnerability, and intelligence.

 Inspired by the Kabbalistic idea of Tikkun Olam, it suggests that those often seen as “wounded by fate” may carry the seed of our collective healing.
