A young Palestinian woman embarks on a quest for belonging, grappling with her identity as she navigates being seen as both Israeli and 'Other' in various contexts. She questions the necessity of military service for basic jobs, the feasibility of changing one’s accent for acceptance, and the possibility of escaping her roots by moving to America. Through her personal experiences and interactions with diverse characters, she poignantly illustrates the struggle many face in their desire for home and acceptance.
"Home? transcends politics to connect on a deeply human level. [It] is Ayoub's most vulnerable and personal work yet - a story she has lived, shaped and now tells with humor and courage."
"Effortlessly shifting from English to Hebrew to Arabic and back again, Ayoub offers herself as a living example of how letting the global air in helps us all to breathe more healthfully."
