Nesjomme

Between World Wars I and II, one in ten inhabitants of Amsterdam was Jewish. Mingling fiction and history, this documentary tells their story, illustrated by archive footage and the fictitious story of Rusha and her family and friends. The result is a dynamic representation of Amsterdam during the interbellum period, as seen from the perspective of the Jewish community. While Rusha grows up from a young girl to an independent woman, her optimism is gradually tested. The eruption of World War II presents her with an impossible choice.
