About film
Jeanie Milgrom was born and raised in Miami, but she always felt disconnected from her Catholic faith. In the movie, Gini, as she is known, goes through a journey of self-discovery, leaving her traditional Catholic roots behind and embracing her Jewish identity. Her search for her roots takes her to various European countries, where she discovers long-hidden family secrets. With the help of her husband, Michael, an Ashkenazi Jew from Romania, Gini finally learns the truth about her origins.
