Gilad Melzer's documentary film is a group portrait that illuminates a unique and dramatic life journey. As far as we know, this is the only historical case of four sisters that had survived the death camps together during the Holocaust. The film presents the personal stories and memories of each one of the sisters, whose narrative many times contradict and collide with one another. Their meetings - emotionally charged but sometimes also entertaining events - enable them for the first time to expose their innermost feelings and to frankly discuss their complex and entangled relationships.
