NAVAH HAS THOUGHTS

A quirky dramedy about Navah Wassman, a perpetual innocent in her 30s, who is guided into misadventures by a mysterious voice. Her journey connects her with the true story of a child who survived the Holocaust but was killed soon after. As Navah learns she can bring healing to this boy’s spirit, she begins to find her power.
