What an extraordinaryand beautiful film about a child (Marika) who escapes the holocaust and eventually finds peace through art. I found the film to stir me in ways I didn't expect. It left me feeling incredibly moved. It is very affirming of the intrinsic value of embracing one's authentic self to find harmony amidst the complexities of being human. Marika's story is punctuated beautifully with imagery, artwork and illustrations from her fathers fabulous diaries.
I found Marika's line of dialogue "Creativity is the way forward, not hate." profoundly moving and her story is now embedded into my soul.
