Eva Umlauf was two years old when the Red Army liberated Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, one of the youngest survivors of the camp. She carries no active memory of the place, and for more than seventy years she kept her family's fate at arm's length, building a career in medicine, marrying a Polish Jew named Jakob, and starting a family in Munich. A heart attack at seventy-four forces a reckoning: doctors and her own body tell her the past has never actually let go. The film follows her back to her father's birthplace near Bratislava, where her mother returned with her two daughters to find everyone else in the family dead, and traces the losses that followed, including Jakob's sudden death in an accident that left her raising a son alone. Interviews with Umlauf carry the film, as she describes deciding late in life to face the camp's legacy directly so her children and grandchildren might carry less of its weight than she did.
