I’ll Be Frank

After receiving a German passport, a young jewish man takes to his grandfather’s memoir to understand his connection to his new-found identity. Guided by Frank’s animated memories, Aaron searches for traces of his family’s life in Germany and for his own connection to the place his family once called home. But when his research leads him down a dark path, Aaron is forced to confront a trauma that has long lay hidden under the surface of his family’s identity. Bringing to question, how much of the past is hidden in the present when we really look for it? The film is a testament to the new-wave of jewish people who have claimed back German citizenship and are coming to terms with their families’ histories.
