Plot
Two-time Golden Calf winner Paul Cohen (Janine, 2010) takes a personal and cinematic journey through postwar Europe. Based on his Jewish father, Bram Cohen, his diary entries from the Japanese internment camp, and previously unseen archival material, Paul Cohen paints a picture of post-WWII Europe through his father's eyes. A poetic documentary about guilt, shame, forgiveness, and compassion, with universal significance.
