ShortHistory

In the summer of 1945, Karolina Agrest reunites with her childhood friend-turned-boyfriend, Jozéf, after having not seen him since his departure from Poland in 1939, before Germany's invasion. Karolina, a survivor of Auschwitz II-Birkenau, is hopeful that this day will provide a brief respite from her emotional turmoil and help her to reconnect with the girl she was before the Holocaust. This is upended, however, as figments of Karolina's past plague her, as the fissure between her life and Jozéf's is drawn into sharp focus, and as he makes a life-altering proposition: that she move to America with him. Karolina must decide whether being on her own in post-War Poland or being with Jozéf exacerbates her isolation further.
