Shoes

Movies
A short drama telling the story of a pair of shoes that starts in the shop window and runs all the way to Auschwitz. The work reflects director’s original concept: shoes is the only object in the shot. The creator of " Shoes” tells a story of a Jewish girl from a province town in Europe. We see her through adolescence, as she falls in love, creates a family, and then loses everything to tragedy captured under the heel of fascism. All this is filmed through the point of view of her shoes. "Shoes" is about fate and people's lives lost in the concentration camps, only leaving behind their shoes.. It’s a silent film where action is carried only by an original soundtrack inspired by Jewish folk motives.
