19.91

In soft tones the director narrates an encounter between two women in Warsaw. One is 19 and comes from Germany. The other is 91 and a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Although age, experience and language separate them, the two women grow close, showing undisguised affection in the process. A tender and moving portrait of humanity, without pathos or pretence. A conciliatory and contemplative portrait of an encounter between two worlds. KM
