Noam was born to a religious family in a settlement in the Occupied West Bank and studied at a religious all-girls school. After being hospitalized following a suicide attempt, he realizes he needed to come out and become the Noam he feels he is. Despite the obvious challenges of being part of a religious community, his family is quite accepting. Noam’s father perceives being transgender as a sort of birth defect that needs to be fixed by gender transitioning. He is supportive of his son, but doesn’t hide the fact that he misses his daughter.

Noam had a complex relationship with religion. Now, as a religious man, he feels closer to God than he ever did as a woman. His family and he face dilemmas related to the religious view on transgenders and the reaction of their closed community. Noam is 19 these days and serving in the army.
