Ben (Luzer Twersky, One of Us, Netflix) is an orthodox Jew from Brooklyn, sent to save the once-mighty Jewish community in Alexandria, Egypt, by serving as the tenth man in the Passover minyan. Soon he’s stranded in Egypt’s Sinai desert, where he meets Adel, a grumpy Bedouin who has lost his camel. The unlikely pair clashes, but Adel’s exasperation transforms into a grudging respect for Ben and his mission. A meaningful and humorous road movie set in the Holy Land, No Name Restaurant shows that friendship and hope can come in many flavors.
