Saturday morning, Eden Yerushalmi and her best friend, Arbel, are dancing at the Nova Festival. Hours later, Eden is taken to Gaza while her sisters listen helplessly on the phone. What begins as a desperate hope for her return, becomes a journey through uncertainty, public struggle, and devastating loss. Through intimate access to Eden’s mother, sisters, and her best friend Arbel, Find Me, Okay?, follows the fight to bring Eden Yerushalmi home, the moment hope collapses, and the painful attempt to rebuild life afterward. A two-year portrait of love, grief, resilience, and the impossible task of moving forward after trauma.
