Fourteen women between the age of 75 and 95 elegantly walk a runway and tell their life stories in Haifa, Israel. Adorned in their finest attire, with jewelry and makeup gracing their aging faces and delicate frames, they captivate their audience. What makes this beauty pageant the most unique in the world is these women all have one thing in common: they represent the last generation of Holocaust survivors. This captivating film vividly brings the remarkable lives of two of these pageant contestants to the silver screen, Rita and Tova, beautifully unveiling the stories of these extraordinary women who triumphed over the Holocaust and revealing the profound beauty and resilience that emanates from within them.
Accompanying the film premiere is a discussion with director Radek Wegrzyn & producer Roberto Gagnor. To view the conversation please click here.
