A documentary. The past collides with the precarious present in Amsterdam. the film presents two portraits: a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts the city, and a journey through the last years of pandemic and protest. What emerges is both devastating and life-affirming, an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we’re headed.
The film is based on the book "Atlas of an Occupied City (Amsterdam 1940-1945)" written by Bianca Stigter.
The film was screened at the Jewish cinema week, Jerusalem, December 2023.
