'So is this my new identity? Am I a 'Brazilian'? Or 'a Latin American living in Europe'? or 'the daughter of a Holocaust survivor'?' - Andrea Seligmann Silva, Director.

Andrea, a Brazilian filmmaker living in Amsterdam, begins to explore her and her siblings impulse to leave their home country. From hours of conversation, she derives a theme: their mother, who had a psychotic crisis in recent years. Further exploration leads Andrea to explore her mother's immigration to Brazil from Nazi Germany as a three-year-old. This autobiographical film depicts one womans search through her own history of movements.
