DIRECTOR: Lena Einhorn
SWEDEN
Winner of the Best Picture and Best Screenplay awards at this year's Swedish Film Awards, Nina's Journey is a powerful drama about a young Jewish woman's remarkable odyssey from survival in World War II Poland to a new life in Sweden. Based on the true story of writer–director Lena Einhorn's mother, Nina Rajmic, the film begins with Nina's family's incarceration in the Warsaw ghetto and the subsequent shtetl uprising. Nina luckily escaped to the Aryan side, but her parents had to remain behind. Nina lived among the gentiles until war's end, when it became clear that only she and her brother survived. Just before her mother's death in 2002, Einhorn interviewed Nina, and her gripping testimony is threaded through the film as a commentary to the unfolding screen drama. ( 120 min )
First Feature Film.
