DESCRIPTION

Franswa Jackoh is looking for the truth. Guided by the Narrator and the Voice Mail, he sets off from home to the Holocaust Museum, where, on one of Auschwitz suitcases, he recognizes the name of his father. Yet, it is not a simple walk, but a journey leading to the recovery of memory and identity. The truth, which he lacked all his life, suddenly hits him with an inconceivable force. This abrupt twist brings back memories, situations and questions that had been waiting for the answer for years.
