Film Description:

Synopsis

The recent economic and political crisis in Argentina is evidenced through the stories of various families within the Jewish Community. The struggle to keep their home and their heritage is combated by economic survival. The particular anti-Semitism the community has lived with is underscored by the bombing of the Jewish Center where hundreds died, the worst anti-Semitic attack in the diaspora since WWII. Linked to international terrorism and local complicity, the community still demands justice from a corrupt government. This filmmaker takes a personal approach by revisiting friends who guide her around Buenos Aires' neighborhoods in 2001 and 2002.
