Welcome to the 28th annual Edmonton Jewish Film Festival (EJFF) where Jewish perspectives come to life.

Two young students - Hania (Vanessa Aleksander, Wartime Girls) and Janek - meet and fall in love in the midst of social turmoil and Jewish discrimination in 1960’s Warsaw. While the young lovers are uninterested in politics, they find themselves unable to avoid it when Hania's father and mother lose their jobs due to the anti-Semitic purge and are forced to emigrate. Hania does not want to leave Janek, and the couple soon participate in a protest rally at the university where they discover freedom comes at a high price.
