A richly layered film in the format of personal autobiography, Naomi's Legacy tells the story of Naomi, a young, Jewish lesbian who, perpetually at odds with her mother, searches for a deeper understanding of her family history. Using home movies, audio recordings of her mother, dramatic re-creations of family fights, and herself as a "talking-head" subject, Naomi invents and interprets new meaning out of the paths and choices the women in her family have taken, ultimately coming to a new understanding of her own relationship to this legacy.
