Roxanne (Ravit) Ben-Ari is an Israeli immigrant girl looking to fit in. An evangelist for TV reruns like Wonder Woman, The Brady Bunch, and Little House on the Prairie. Roxanne is desperate to emulate all-American TV girls. But things change when Liat moves in nearby, and Liat's self-confidence enables Roxanne to embrace her own unique identity. |
