The Patisserie is a live-action/animated short film about the generational longing to connect with our past in order to understand who we are – something that most descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors go through. The film’s main character, Jacob, is a writer from New York searching to understand the void within himself as a first generation survivor of the Holocaust. He takes a journey to retrace his parents’ past. Interactions with the local Armenian owners of the patisserie cause his entire outlook to change.
