Toldot Ha’Menutzachim
Tales of the Defeated
A missed meeting in 1945 splits a family into two. The director’s grandmother decides to drift away from the place of her catastrophe to a new Jewish state while her brother Feiv‘ke chooses to change his name and stay in the place where he once was a prisoner. Following the choices made by a brother and sister, the director finds herself on a journey between Israel and Eastern Germany, between past and present, victims and victimizers. Which questions can be answered after their death, 63 years after that missed meeting?
