My Father's Secrets
Lest we forget.
Directed by Véra Belmont
Produced by Je suis bien content, Left Field Ventures
A tender yet haunting animated family drama that explores how Holocaust trauma reverberates silently through generations, told through the eyes of children trying to understand their father's unspoken past.
Brussels, Belgium, 1959. Michel and Charly Kichka, two Jewish brothers, enjoy a happy childhood with their parents and their two sisters. Henri, their discreet and usually silent father, does not speak at all about his past, so they imagine that as a young man he was an adventurer, a pirate or a treasure hunter.
