As a Jewish toddler in the Netherlands in the 1940s, Peter was separated from his parents, Jewish refugees from Germany, and whisked from hiding place to hiding place to escape deportation and death. Decades later, his own son David attempts to forge his own path fighting genocide in the Balkans after his father's mental health buckles under the weight of his memories. The film reveals the hereditary trauma of the Holocaust: the deep emotional wounds of forefathers passed on to children and grandchildren. Narrated by both Peter and David, the film depicts an inter-generational conversation, reverberating across the decades.
