Screening will be followed by a conversation with Director Élise Otzenberger
Anna and Adam, a young Jewish Parisian couple, decide to finally take their honeymoon — in Poland, where they’ll attend a ceremony for the Jews of the village where Adam’s grandfather was born. While he’s wary about the trip, she’s looking forward to the opportunity to connect with her roots, visit the place her grandmother is from and, hopefully, uncover more about her family’s mysterious history. But confronted with their families’ pasts, their romantic holiday begins to unravel and their differences come to the surface.
