English
Genre: Documentary

Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews, this film examines the story of a small, rural town where Polish Jews and Catholics lived side-by-side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from the town, and an eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there – not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors.

Winner of Audience Award at the Berkshire Film Festival, Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the San Francisco IndieFest, Audience Choice Award at the Austin Jewish Film Festival, and Jewish Film Institute Envision Award.
