Plot Synopsis
“The story of a man who did not tell, or choose to tell his own story and of a boy who needed to know.” Louis Lentin
In this moving docudrama Lentin reconstructs the life of his paternal grandfather, Kalman Solomon Lentin who came to live with his family in Ireland in 1936.
In this personal film Lentin sets out, with his son Miki Lentin, to find out where the old folk came from, what was it like and if anything survived. Leaving Ireland and journeying through the Baltic countries he uncovers the inspiring story of his family and the lost world of the Jewish shtetl. The story unfolds with fascinating archive material and drawings illustrating their journey.
