Nitza’s Choice

Israel | 2022 | 78 min. | Hebrew, Yiddish | Documentary | English Subtitles

Nitza, an 80-year-old holocaust survivor, sets out on a journey in search of her identity and origin story, during which she uncovers a court ruling from 1952 that determined her fate. The lost little girl whose childhood memories have been completely erased, is torn between her adoptive and biological mothers and between traumatic memories and comforting obliviousness.
