A richly textured
retelling of several mysterious love stories from survivors of the Holocaust.
Using a variety of film forms, intimate interviews, archival footage,
excerpts of fiction film (from Hollywood and the Yiddish cinema), and
dramatic reenactment, the documentary unfolds like a collection of love
stories. Filmmaker Klodawsky, the daughter of death camp survivors,
explores the healing power of love.
