YAEL NAIM : A new soul is an intimate documentary that traces the extraordinary path of Yael Naim—from her early days in Israel to becoming an international music sensation. Blending exclusive personal home videos, her photos, animation and paintings and told by herself, the film offers a revealing look at the moments that shaped her artistry and identity.

From the quiet solitude of songwriting to the global spotlight of her hit “New Soul,” from her first years to her midlife crisis, we follow Yael as she navigates the challenges of fame, explores her multicultural roots, and redefines what it means to be an artist, a mother and a woman in search of authenticity. A moving portrait of resilience, creativity, and the universal language of music.
