SYNOPSIS
This haunting, poignantly narrated short animated film describes the witnessing of an unspeakable tragedy in contemporary Russia; it is a story heavy with the silence of those who did not speak up to protect others, and those who no longer have a voice. It is told from the perspective of Holocaust survivor Lydia Krylova
