Director: Jesse Eisenberg

starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kieran Culkin

Language: OmU (English with German subtitles)

Content Notes: 8, 9

After the death of their beloved grandmother, two cousins, David and Benji, travel from New York to Poland to make a round trip in her memory. The two couldn't be more different, as the small group of travelers quickly realizes, as they visit historical sites of Jewish life and come to terms with the Holocaust. For the cousins, the trip also becomes a confrontation with themselves.

Jesse Eisenberg's "little" film deals with inner conflicts, transgenerational traumas and growing up in a sensitive and humorous way. The cousins' road trip resembles an emotional rollercoaster ride which, despite some exaggeration, always maintains a sensitive approach to the characters' feelings and thus captivates the audience.
