Kaddisch After Living Memory

Movies
Perry, a clerk in Tel-Aviv in the 1960s, and a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp, tries to locate Bach, his friend from the camp. The flashbacks show their humiliation in the hands of the SS guards and their forced labour. Perry visits Yad Vashem and looks for his friend's name in the lists but doesn't find what he is looking for. When he meets Gorfinkel, another survivor of the camp, Perry convinces him to search for Bach. The two decide to search for Bach in an insane asylum in the area but don't find him there. One day Gorfinkel tells Perry that by chance he has found Back. The two hurry to the place and find him standing alone on the street corner, oiling baby carriage wheels for mothers passing by. Perry decides to say kaddish for his friend.
