NOAM

Story

Synopsis

Mala (17) lives with her three-year-old son Noam in a bleak housing estate in Berlin. Since the birth of her child, she has felt abandoned and invisible, leading her into depression. Her family? Overwhelmed and absent. Her friends from earlier days? Long gone. Noam’s father, Paulo, occasionally shows up, but he is usually drunk or accompanied by a new girlfriend. Like today. This time, her name is Sarah – chic, loud, and with a subtle knack for reminding Mala how little remains of her old life. But something about today is different from all the other difficult days. Mala is approached on the street by a young man named Casper, who lives in the neighbourhood. And for a brief moment, she feels seen.
