Description

An epic story from the creator of Orlando and The Tango Lesson. A young woman's coming-of-age story set in the dangerous maelstrom of the Nazi Occupation of Paris. The film charts a journey which begins in the lost world of old Jewry and ends in the new world of Hollywood, a journey in which the young woman's original language is taken from her, causing her to retreat into silence and song. The film attempts to moum for those lost in the terrible events of the last century and to celebrate those who found their voices and survived.
