Without family, a synagogue or a single Jewish friend, the hardened
survivor has so effectively created a new identity that, when faced with
his own mortality, the rabbis refuse his appeal to be buried in a Jewish
cemetery in Cologne. Determined to return to his birthplace and establish
his ancestry, Marcus enlists the help of a young Turkish woman with a
troubled history of her own. The unlikely duo sets out on a journey that
will irrevocably change them both.

This event is free to any student showing a UF ID!
