About film
Sometimes, people have to reveal their most terrible secrets, which have been hidden for decades. Marietta Diamond, an 90-year-old woman, kept her Jewish origin secret for more than seven decades. She decided to tell her family the truth. After escaping from Nazi-occupied France during World War II, she grew up in Buenos Aires and attended Catholic school. She was part of the high society in the Argentine capital. The film explores the impact of her hidden identity on her life and relationships through interviews, family photos, and personal documents. The documentary by Paulie Martinez Kaplan is the final part of a trilogy about trauma, the search for identity, and the consequences of the Holocaust on future generations.
