A common rite of passage for many young Israeli teenagers becomes the anchor for a work of stirring drama and striking realism from filmmaker Asaf Saban (Outdoors BIFF 2019, Paradise BJFF 2021). The film follows a trio of Israeli high school friends on a class trip to Poland, where they visit former Nazi concentration camps and memorials of the Shoah. As with so many teenagers, the weight of history takes a back seat to the seemingly more pressing concerns and group dynamics that occur during the trip. Love, jealousy, and friendship collide with the static mass of memorial sites as these travelers begin to reckon with the tragic past and question their unknown future.
Followed by a conversation with Writer/Director Asaf Saban, moderated by Joey Katz, BJF Director of Special Programming.
