In this critically-acclaimed and darkly comedic Israeli mini-series, a leading contender for the Nobel Prize for Economics is found dead by his lifelong friends just days before the award is to be announced. Concerned that his potential legacy as a Nobel laureate is at risk, they decide to keep him “alive” until the announcement is made. Based on the book by Noa Yedlin and featuring a who’s who of Israeli actors, Stockholm is a funny and endearing portrait of friendship in the twilight years reminiscent of The Big Chill (for Jewish 70-somethings).
