As other reviewers have mentioned it is about Miri, an El Al fight attendant, twice widowed, who suddenly finds herself with an abandoned Chinese boy who only speaks Chinese. Her actions at this point are unconvincing. She doesn't want to call the police, or anyone. Instead she calls him "Noodle" and tries to teach him her language. Only after a number of days does she think (with some help)to take him to someone in the Chinese community. It all gets worked out (of course) amidst the drama of her sister's difficulty with her husband, with the handsome Mati added to the mix. The second half of the film was a little more interesting, not giving anything away. But there was no chemistry at all between Miri and the Chinese boy who was supposed to be so adorable that she couldn't help but have a strong, emotional bond with him. The actress playing Miri gave a pedestrian,unemotional performance and the Chinese boy's performance was entirely by rote, understandable due his age and his obvious lack of acting experience.
