About film
In 1998, during the summer holidays, one of the granddaughter's finds a hidden stash with her grandmother's diary under the TV in the nightstand. As she reads through the diary, she begins to see the memories of her grandmother's difficult journey out of the ghetto and into a concentration camp. She learns why her grandmother hid her notes for so long and the significance of their conversation. This film, based on a real-life diary found by director Shulamit Lifshitz in her grandmother's home, explores the importance of sharing stories and the weight of memories.
