Voyages

Description

Few films have dealt with the Holocaust as freshly and gracefully as this haunting, subtle, and touching first feature. Voyages is an ingeniously linked tale centered on three contemporary Jewish women at the crossroads of life. Rivka, a French woman on a bus tour of Poland with her husband unexpectedly reconsiders her unsatisfactory marriage; the return of Regine's long-lost father, thought to have perished in the camps, throws her life into turmoil, opening up more questions than answers; and Vera, a Russian woman who impulsively emigrates to Israel looking for a long-lost cousin, finds herself a stranger in a strange land. From Poland to Paris to Tel Aviv, Voyages is an intimate and personal story of the quests of three women whose lives and intertwining destinies create a moving and poignant story of survival. Starring Shulamit Adar, Liliane Rovère, Esther Gorintin, Natan Cogan and Mosko Alkalai. Directed by Emmanuel Finkiel.
