This animated film is an adaptation of the autobiographical graphic novel by Bernice Eisenstein, in which she explores her own identity through the experience of her parents, who were both survivors of Auschwitz. The story explores the taboos around a very particular second-hand trauma, with its attendant anger, guilt, and loneliness.
