Press Reviews
“The film carefully explores questions about how Jewish families deal with this memory and how the memory changes when those who experienced it are no longer with us.” (Jüdisches Magazin, Frankfurt)
The Director About the Film
“Eva’s story, a testament to the resilience and reverberations of a harrowing past, touched me deeply and prompted me to embark on a cinematic odyssey that aims to express her story and thus the legacy of survivors like her. It is not just about documenting history, but also about taking a third generation perspective and exploring the complex web of emotions, memories and trauma that spans generations.” Mario Morales
