Film Description:
The film tells the story of Jacob Ehrenfeld, a Holocaust survivor, and the story of Sarah Zwagenbaum, also a Holocaust survivor, from the point of view of her daughter Bat Sheva Bronstein.
For forty minutes, combined with magnificent artistic frames, we are shown the impossible journeys of Jacob and Sarah towards life, when apparently there is no connection between them except their deafness, but their stories create a connection in the viewer’s heart.
In the film, emphasis will be placed on the visual element, art and photography, all in order to enrich the feeling of observing the events through the eyes of a deaf Holocaust survivor. On top of that, the film will try to convey the way a deaf person interprets certain sounds or imagines them.
This is a unique project presented for the first time, and tries to answer the question – did the deafness of the Holocaust survivors save them and awaken humanity and empathy in the Nazis or those who tried to help them, or did the disconnection of one of the most vital survival senses harm their ability to stay alive.
