Ida the movie
There can always be new stories about Jews during the War in Poland. And we know that many children (probably mostly girls) were saved by hiding in convents, not knowing that they were Jews. We also know that special delegates from pre-statehoood Israel were sent to Europe after the war to find them.
The Polish speaking movie Ida covers a story of one young girl and one such family, all in the background of grim, gray, depressing Poland of the 60s where choosing between staying in the convent or going out is not such a given.
An art film, black and white, very grainy, in the style of art movies from the 50s... and then it ends, leaving us to try to understand.
