Baba Joon takes place in An agricultural village in the outskirts of the Israeli Negev desert, populated solely by Jews who immigrated from Iran. The villagers preserve their Persian culture; they speak Farsi and maintain their codes of honor, modesty and simplicity, and accept the authority of the father of the family, virtually without dispute. Our hero is MOTI, an only child whose family owns a turkey farm. In Moti's Family, where Patriarch honor comes before anything else, Moti is at the mercy of his father YITZHAK, and the judgmental gaze of his Baba. Both demand that Moti continue the family legacy and gradually take over the farm work. Moti rebels and refuses to accept the fate his family has dictated for him.
