SYNOPSIS
“Noodle” is a moving romantic action-comedy, revolving around the coming to life of Miri, urged by a sudden encounter with a Chinese boy abandoned by his mother.
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.
