Animated Documentary of encounters in virtual worlds simulating the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. The film follows the creators of these virtual camps within their simulated worlds: a German prosecution office preparing a trial; Israeli high-school students reconstructing the israeli air force fly-over from 2003; Israeli game developer developing a game; Polish graphic designer developing a virtual reality experience; German architect and Israeli historian reconstructing architectural model. The film is constructed as a mosaic in which the avatars of each of these creators walk around his own virtual Auschwitz camp . A journey to the depths of memory which reveals the obsession with the representation of the Holocaust.
