I have just been to see a beautiful film called Fugitive Pieces. It is the story of a young Jewish boy, Jakob, who is the only member of his family to escape the Nazis. He is rescued by a Greek archaeologist, Athos, who takes him in and raises him. There journey together takes them from Poland to Greece to Canada.
It is a story of grief and loss, of memories and ghosts, of generosity and love and of healing through connection.
