Having survived the camps, 42-year old Aldo lives a solitary life as a doctor in Budapest. 16-year old Klara lives reluctantly with her great-aunt, holding on to hope that her father and mother will return. She meets Aldo, and soon the two of them find something in each other that has long been absent.

 

As they grow closer, the joy in their lives slowly returns. But as the Soviet Empire rises to power in Hungary, their father-daughter relationship is misunderstood and frowned upon.

 

A lyrical story of the power of love in the midst of conflict, loss, and trauma, Those Who Remained reveals the healing process of Holocaust survivors through the eyes of a teenage girl in post-World War II Hungary.
