In the mid-1980s, filmmaker Ruth Beckermann embarks upon a journey to find Jewish life. In doing so, she is confronted with various concepts of what that was, is, and can be. Romania, Czernowitz, Israel, a movie set in Yugoslavia where the Theresienstadt concentration camp is being reverse-engineered; and finally, a return to Vienna where anti-Semitism rears its ugly head on the streets. To live in a place like this despite all of its shortcomings is to know who you could have been.
