She says, “Had it not been for Hitler, I would have been born a German‑Jewish child, more German than Jewish, in a small southern German village. Instead I was born in Argentina, grew up speaking Spanish, and arrived in Germany seventeen years ago.” In this autobiographical documentary, director Jeanine Meerapfel searches for her Jewish identity while confronting the realities of modern Germany, reflecting on memory, belonging and the country’s past.
