A 12-year-old girl must complete a family history assignment for school. The boring task slowly becomes a sweeping drama embodying many secrets over three generations of one family, beginning before the Second World War and ending with the fall of the collective kibbutz idealism. In the vein of Arnon Goldfinger’s The Flat, this quiet and sensitively-constructed documentary explores a family’s resistance to excavate a buried painful past.
