Children of Nobody

Synopsis

Living on the fringes of Israeli society, troubled boys must band together to save the shelter for at-risk youth that has kept them off the streets. For generations, altruistic surrogate mother, Margalit (Tiki Dayan), provided loving refuge to victims of neglect and violence in a shabby house on Tel Aviv's outskirts. When tragedy strikes, it's up to right-hand man Jackie (Roy Assaf) to keep the home from corrupt property developers, and assuage a social worker's scrutiny. With tough love from "big brother" Jackie, the young men must now be accountable for their own lives, and save their refuge from a dire fate. Inspired by a true story, this compassionate drama gives voice to those on the periphery, often unnoticed and uncared for.
