As a Holocaust survivor’s son, that chose to emigrate to Germany, I search after the cognitive presence of the Holocaust and its possible influence on us.

The interview segments serve as a textual frame for a world of images, which is shifting between description and reflection.

The subjective character of the film derives from the strong bond between our trauma and the story we carry/ which carries us.

The political significance takes a clearer place as the scenery changes from Germany and Poland, towards my hometown Haifa, where Jews and Arabs live side by side.
