Kichka. Life Is A Cartoon

Michel Kichka (born 1954 in Seraing/Liège) is a renowned cartoonist and illustrator living in Jerusalem. In his graphic novel Second Generation, he addresses the impact that the wartime trauma suffered by his father, the Holocaust survivor Henri Kichka (born 1926 in Brussels), had on him and his siblings. The publication is a record of the family embarking on a long journey through the past – and into the future. The film follows Kichka father and son during two intensive years in Israel, Belgium and France with many interlocutors, including Jean Plantureux aka Plantu, as well as Beate and Serge Klarsfeld.
