Round Trip

Israel, 2004. 95 mins. Wolfe Vid.

Nurit, a forty year old bus driver, reaches a point where she can no longer stand her confining life. Leaving behind her husband, she takes her two kids to the big city. In Tel Aviv, she finds work in what she does best, driving a bus, and rents an apartment in a shady part of the city. She hires Mushidi, an illegal immigrant from Ghana, to be a live-in nanny, who instead of paying rent will cook, and take care of the children. With the help of Mushidi, Nurit discovers new things about herself and redefines her motherhood and femininity.
