A grieving Israeli grandmother reluctantly travels with her granddaughter to Warsaw’s wintry streets to reclaim property lost during the war, exhuming buried memories and hidden truths. Struggling with the recent loss of her son, the fiercely proud elder bears the emotional weight of the trip, while her independent granddaughter longs to learn her family history. As one unexpectedly bonds with a charming Polish tour guide, another reconnects with an old flame. What begins as a quest to reclaim a family flat becomes a deep journey of self-discovery and reconciliation. Dana Modan’s touching adaptation of her sister Rutu Modan’s award-winning graphic novel is nominated for four Israeli Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay.
