Naomi

The May-December marriage of Ilhan, a 60-ish celebrity physics professor and his stunning, 28-ish wife, Naomi, seems headed for disaster. Naomi claims she is busy with a friend but Ilhan is convinced she is having an affair. He calls his mother to voice his concerns and she asks what he expected when he married a woman half his age. He becomes an amateur detective in an attempt to learn the truth about Naomi’s lover which leads to dire consequences. The irony of the fact that Ilhan’s best friend is a detective is not lost upon the viewer but his mother’s involvement lends a whole new meaning to the term, “Jewish Mother.
