Synopsis:
The NYSJFF is delighted to present the award-winning hit series STOCKHOLM in its entirety. Join us and binge watch five nail-biting, hysterical, thoughtful, not-to-be missed episodes based on the book written by Noa Yedlin. When a renowned economist is found dead in his bed, his friends decide to hide this fact for five days, enough time to allow him to win the coveted Nobel Prize in Economics. Determined to retain some integrity for their friend, while also gaining, by proxy, some notoriety for themselves, the plan threatens to unravel in this popular series with an all-star cast: Sasson Gabay (THE BANDS VISIT; NYSJFF 2018 Ronit Elkabetz AH Pomegranate Award Recipient for Lifetime Achievement), Dovale Glickman, Gidi Gov, and Tikva Dayan. An enduring portrait of friendship, love, and deception, Israeli-style.
