The Unburdened
The story of a dedicated mother who is racing to assemble a Holocaust memorial program for her daughter’s school while facing opposition from an anonymous parent. Amidst preparations, a faded friend from childhood interrupts with news that the land containing their buried time capsule is about to be sold. As the women hurriedly dig it up, buried secrets emerge.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Generational trauma around the Shoah hits different people in different ways. Maybe there”s more than one way to deal with it.
