The Holocaust was never discussed in the Rubinstein home. Every story ever told had a happy ending. That was until Naomi Azar's parents took a trip back to Hungary. Accompanying them, camera in hand, the filmmaker captured her parents' until then untold stories of suffering, courage and indomitable will to survive. From her parents, we learn of the constant struggle between nostalgia for Hungarian traditions and their anger at their fellow Hungarians and the tension between the need to erase the effect of the Holocaust on their lives and the need to remember. The filmmaker also reflects on her need as a member of the "second generation" to realize the effect that the Holocaust has had on her, while appreciating the happy and normal family that her parents established in Israel. A warm and sensitive film about a family who chose life.
