Chantal Akerman seemed to put a period on the sentence of her historically great oeuvre in this non-narrative autobiographical film, which draws on her mother's experience as a holocaust survivor now residing in Belgium, and footage from her travels in Israel, to express the emotional and physical realities of outsiderness. Shortly after this film's premiere, Akerman was dead, and a new meaning and deeper finality can now be found in this, her final work. Co-presented with Experimental Response Cinema.
