A little girl named Tana survived Teresienstadt concentration camp thanks to her resourceful grandmother. After liberation, she lived a comfortable and cultured life with relatives in Sweden. No one spoke of her ordeal. "Forget the past" she was told. Tana knew how to keep silent. This haunting animated film captures the surreal world of a child survivor whose pain has not been recognized or shared. At twenty, when Tana left Sweden, she was given letters written by her mother before being sent to Auschwitz where she perished. Tana now had a bridge to the past, but still couldn t speak of it. It took fifty years for her to break the silence.
