Synopsis

The film observes and unfolds a hidden segment of history and life with the help of a devoted teacher. It is based on the meticulous reconstruction of two incredible, intertwining stories: the film presents the destruction of the Jewry of the Hungarian city of Kalocsa, where today none of the Jews are to be found, who once formed a vibrant and productive community and who perished in the Hungarian Holocaust, while it follows, how a gentile teacher from a later generation carefully and systematically succeeds in unearthing that incomparable Jewish-Hungarian tragedy.
