42-year old Aldo lives a solitary life as a doctor in Budapest; 16-year old Klara lives reluctantly with her great-aunt, each their family’s sole surviving member the Holocaust. They develop a warm friendship and the joy in both of their lives slowly returns. The Soviet Empire rises to power in Hungary and their pure and loving father-daughter relationship is misunderstood and frowned upon. A lyrical story of the healing power of love in the midst of conflict, loss and trauma, Those Who Remained reveals the healing process of Holocaust survivors through the eyes of a young girl in post-World War II Hungary.

Hungary selected Those Who Remained as their submission to the Oscars
for this year’s Best Foreign Language Film, and was shortlisted for the award.

Sponsored by: Chaim, Aliza and Tova Kornfeld, Dr. Andrea Tuka and Dr. Harry Karlinsky, Arnold and Anita Silber, The Estate of George and Rosie Nelson, Susan Albersheim and Steven Barer in memory of Eugene Albersheim z”l
