About film
Marianna, a Russian-Jewish girl born in Germany, proudly presents her hand-drawn family tree to the class: she openly and happily acknowledges her ancestry. When she arrives home, however, Marianne is forced to hide the drawing from her parents, who fear anti-Semitic attitudes and prefer not to talk about her Jewish roots. The same evening, the drawing is accidentally discovered by Eva, a journalist and blogger who experienced a similar trauma in her childhood... Anna Ehret's debut feature film draws attention to the ever-present problem of anti-Semitism and related fears.
