About film
Anny Junek, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor, loves dressing up for the Jewish holiday of Purim and makes a new costume every year. In fact, she’s the three-time winner of the annual Best Costume contest in her Israeli retirement home — she has dressed up as a bride, a Smurf, a doctor, and a handyman. After losing her parents in Auschwitz and surviving Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Anny moved from Austria to Mexico where she created a family and raised her children. Now Anny is a great-grandmother, she lives in Israel, and together with her family, she is creating a costume to win the contest for the fourth time.
