Traces a family's journey as one of only twelve Jewish families to survive the Nazi occupation of Prague during World War II.

Award-winning filmmaker, Marina Willer (Cartas da Mae),creates an impressionistic visual essay as she traces her father's family journey as one of only twelve Jewish families to survive the Nazi occupation of Prague during World War II. Photographed by Academy Award nominee César Charlone (City of God),the film travels from war-torn Eastern Europe to the color and light of South America and is told through the voice of Willer's father Alfred (as narrated by Tim Piggot Smith, Quantum of Solace),who witnessed bureaucratic nightmares, transportations and suicides but survived to build a post-war life as an architect in Brazil.
