Her name is Ida Frank and she is over 90 years old. Born during the Civil War, she fought during the Second World War where she survived three concentration camps. After the war, she worked as a pediatrician for 50 years. On the screen, Ida Frank's monologue is an autobiographical tale that speaks of her life, of choice even when there seems to be none. It is a rare blend of sincerity and agreed language, deeply personal, objective and uncompromising. The story of this woman combines the optimism of youth, the spirit, self-deprecation and a fighting character, all forming a powerful agreement.
