A cinematic lesson in history about Sephardic heritage. Join legendary Yehoram Gaon on a Sephardic odyssey as he retraces the footsteps of Jewish refugees from Spain and Portugal after the Expulsion of 1492. From Córdoba, Amsterdam, and Venice through Sarajevo, Thessaloniki, and Istanbul to Tiberias, Safed, and Jerusalem, the film also shed light on the neglected story of the Sephardim in the Shoah through a stop in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Each site of the journey is accompanied by romance songs and 'piutim' in 'Judeo Español', Ladino, performed by Israel's national singer, along with insights into Sephardi culture.
