Set in Tel Aviv’s Neve Tzedek neighborhood, Children of Nobody follows Jackie (Roy Assaf), a former at-risk youth, who inherits the responsibility of running a crumbling shelter for neglected and abused teens after the passing of its founder, Margalit (Tiki Dayan). When the shelter faces demolition to make way for a boutique hotel, Jackie and the residents band together to challenge the municipality and fight for the only home they’ve ever known. Directed by Erez Tadmor (A Matter of Size, The Art of Waiting, both screened at the Israeli Film Festival of Philadelphia), this gripping tale captures the struggles of marginalized youth and the power of community.
Recipient of the Golden Royal Bengal Tiger Award at the Kolkata International Film Festival, Children of Nobody resonates with audiences worldwide through its moving performances and themes of social justice and resilience. With its deeply human storytelling and inspiring message, this film offers a rare glimpse into the lives of those often overlooked.
