Hummus, a delicious, nutritionally rich superfood is loved by Americans and unites Muslims, Christians, and Jews around the world. Thousands of people share historical and cultural differences, but they have one thing in common… love for humus! In Oren Rosenfeld’s film, we meet three protagonists: a busy Muslim woman, a smiling Jew and a young Christian Arab. They share a common passion. We accompany Olivier, a Benedictine monk from France, who is looking for the best hummus, we watch a fierce fight for breaking the Guinness World Record in the category of “The world’s largest portion of hummus”, we also meet Aluf Abir, a hip-hop artist with a black belt. ​“Hummus!”​ is a story about ordinary people who simply love hummus.
