Summaries

American journalist Ruth travels to Poland with her father Edek to visit his childhood places. But Edek, a Holocaust survivor, resists reliving his trauma and sabotages the trip, creating unintentionally funny situations.

1990 - Ruth, a neurotic businesswoman from New York, takes her father Edek, a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor on a journey to Poland to make sense of her family's past. Edek's hesitation to confront his past and his often odd demeanor cause more than just one dispute between him and his daughter. The trip unfolds into a story that encapsulates the emotion of discovery and drama with humor. Based on the best-selling autobiographical novel TOO MANY MEN by New York-based writer Lily Brett.—Sydney Levine
