A novice nun is told to speak with her last surviving relative before she takes her vows. She learns about her Jewish roots, and a dreadful family secret that calls into question everything she has taken for granted about herself. The presentation begins with the short film Zima.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Historic guilt damages again and again and again. But good people should not retreat from life but join the struggle; A remarkably assured and successfully sustained film; Average – I wonder if that’s the story for all nuns; Beautifully made in rather hackneyed style. Plot fairly predictable; Very sad and depressing – wicked world.
