Oma

A nonconforming granddaughter with shaved temples and piercing comes to a retirement house to film a documentary about her boisterous grandmother who survived the Holocaust and Auschwitz They are divided by more than half a century they are united by their uncompromising attitude but they are able to find a common language This chamber conversational drama about dialogue across two generations states that as long as you argue as long as you disagree as long as you can raise your voice you are alive The granddaughter is played by the films director Daniella Rabbani who also appeared in minor parts in The Americans and Oceans 8 and to her Oma is an adaptation of a personal experience When I was a child my grandparents didnt tell me about how they survived the Holocaust My grandfather made attempts to open up but I would always change the subject I had no idea about the cleansing effect that such conversations could have
