A film about four women who survived Auschwitz as teenagers. Despite their traumas and haunting memories, they have lived to nearly one hundred and are now among the few remaining to bear witness to the Holocaust. They live in Stockholm, have been friends for decades, and share a deep passion for playing bridge. Life proceeds as usual, but suddenly everything changes with Hamas' terror attack and the relentless war in Gaza that follows. A unique film about the Holocaust and the art of survival.
