An elderly Polish woman lives in a nursing home. Her name is Irena, and no one could ever suspect the heroic deeds she accomplished during World War II: the rescue of 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto and from deportation. As three college students from Kansas investigate the true story of this heroine, Irena pieces together the fragments of a fading memory and recounts the evils of the past to heal those of the present, so that the unimaginable may never be forgotten.
“A miracle of suggestion, modesty, and poetry (...) Without a doubt, one of the most powerful and moving performances of this year’s Avignon Festival. A must-see!” La Terrasse
