Photonovela

A twelve-year-old girl must complete an ancestry assignment for school. Slowly, the boring task transforms into a sweeping drama embodying many secrets about three generations of one family-beginning before WWII, continuing as Holocaust refugees, and ending with the fall of the collective kibbutz ideal. What does this heavy historical burden mean for a young girl today, living in a reality of social networks, soap operas, and telenovelas? A first-person documentary about the unsettling thought that life is a chain of events governed by coincidence and not by individual decisions.
