My Father's Secrets

1960s Belgium. Michel and his brother Charly live a happy childhood. Their father, silent and discreet, does not reveal his past. The brothers imagine him as a great adventurer or treasure hunter.... But what is he hiding? Veteran filmmaker Vera Belmont presents a moving adaptation to Michel Kichka's graphic novel, telling of the struggles of first and second-generation Holocaust survivors. "The book, like the film, is a story of trauma and resilience. It carries a universal message and is a great lesson for today's youth" - Michel Kichka.
