Meet Menachem and Fred, brothers who themselves have only just re-met as adults. Since separating as children during the Holocaust, they’ve become very different men, with different nationalities and religious orientations. Each has avoided his memories, and each is finally forced—by an old letter and a regretted commitment to the filmmakers—to confront history. We travel with them to Germany and France on an emotional tour of their past.
