Synopsis:

Alone, Eva Fahidi returned home to Hungary after WWII. At 20 years of age, she had survived Auschwitz Birkenau, while 49 members of her family were murdered, including her mother, father, and little sister. Today, at age 90, Eva is asked to participate in a dance theatre performance about her life's journey.

DJFF Film Reviews:

“Right for our demographic; interesting exploration of the process of creating a dance piece about the Holocaust and her family.”

~ Jeffrey Reiss: Member, DJFF Film Selection Committee


“Eva Fahidi's dance theatre performance about her life's journey is a Holocaust survivor's unique and uplifting story of survival.”

~ Susan Mathews: Member, DJFF Film Selection Committee


“A deeply personal story about identity, creative expression, aging, mortality, vitality, and the simultaneous ephemerality and persistence of life. Beautiful movement sequences. Sensuously shot, with a keen sensibility which results in powerful, striking imagery. Note: some nudity, but not in an exploitative way.”

~ Amy Weiner Weiss: Member, DJFF Film Selection Committee & Director of Festivals, JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center
