Malka
A shocking and powerful story about separation and loss in Poland during WWII. It is 1943 and Dr Hannah Mai is forced to accept that the time has come for her to leave Poland with her two daughters if they are to have any chance of survival. With regular, deadly round-ups of the Jews sweeping across their home country. Hannah, along with 16 year old Minna and 7 year old Malka, plan to flee to Hungary. But just before they reach the border Malka is taken seriously ill, and Hannah is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life - to leave her daughter behind. Told from two perspectives, this is the tragic, heart-wrenching tale of a mother and child, and their struggle to survive the horrors of a Nazi-led society as they try to find each other again.
