“Hungarian director Barnabás Tóth explores the achingly tender connection between two Holocaust survivors.” (Variety)
In this exquisitely acted, lyrical story of the healing power of love in the midst of unfathomable loss and trauma, Those Who Remained reveals the experience of two Holocaust survivors in post-World War II Hungary. Aldo, 42 years old, survived the camps but lost his family and now lives a solitary life as a doctor in Budapest. After her parents were sent to the camps, teenage Klara is forced to live with her uncompromising great-aunt. After Klara and Aldo meet, a father-daughter friendship blossoms, and they slowly find joy in their lives again. But with the Soviet Empire swiftly rising to power in Hungary, their relationship is soon put into question. Those Who Remained is a must-see and one of the most poignant films of the festival.
Winner of the prestigious Narrative Jury Award at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival.
