100 years of family and contemporary history, told through the lives of women from four generations, beginning in 1914, when the director’s grandmother emigrated from Berlin to Hungary. This richly illustrated chronicle, assembled from private and historical images, traces the evolution of a German-Jewish family into Hungarian Catholics, from the middle class to life under socialism, and finally to a return to traditions led by the director’s daughter.
