Beautiful intergenerational film about how the sharing of one’s emotional trauma can lead to healing and transformative friendship. Based on a true story, the film focuses on Herbert Heller, a Holocaust survivor who has kept his experiences during the war a secret for 60 years – even from his own family. When Herbert encounters a troubled at-risk teen coping with her own personal trauma, he recognizes the pain and begins to speak openly for the first time about his past to try to help her heal. Incredibly touching and skillfully produced, the film will resonate with viewers long after viewing.
