Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
The film is set in 1991, and Dunham is Ruth, the daughter of Edek (Fry), a Polish immigrant that has not been back to the Auschwitz death camp since he was confined there as a teenager. Ruth has meticulously planned the trip, which includes a side journey to the former family factory and house in the Polish town of Lodz. Edek acts strange and elusive throughout the midst of the trip, leading to a further tear in the fabric of their relationship. What they will learn is about to become very important.
