HANNA'S JOURNEY
FICTION | ISRAEL - GERMANY | 2013 | 99 MINUTES
A film by Julia Von Heinz
World Premiere
Hanna, a young german, comes to Israel for the most selfish reason: trying to improve her resume – and thus, her career – with a few months of ‘doing something with Jews’. Itay, a social worker Hanna meets through work, teases her with Holocaust jokes and cynical comments about German history. Hanna doesn’t like the jokes and feels that they have nothing to do with her; she feels that the history belongs only in classrooms. over time, questions about her family’s history arise.
