buried in ground that remembers you

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.

"The mystery of wood is not that it burns, but that it floats"

"Make sure you are buried in ground that remembers you"
