This stunning, multi award-winning animated film (oils painted on glass) is based on the escape from an Odessa pogrom in 1905 by the filmmaker’s grandmother and her six siblings.“This animated movie is truly great. It has a powerful, realistic feel, portraying the ancient struggles and the journey of never-ending hope.
