SYNOPSIS  
  A natural disaster leads the filmmaker to explore what is known and what is unknowable about the past. For fifty years her father has guarded his memories of a fugitive childhood in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, wishing to protect his children and reluctant to open the door to a lost world. Still his history continues to reverberate through the next generation, affecting those around him in unexpected ways.
Suddenly confronted by devastation of a different kind, the filmmaker must finally ask her father to tell the story that he has carried so long in silence.
