“PAST LIFE” (2016. 109 min. NR) - A gripping, globe-trotting European odyssey of two sisters — an introverted classical music composer and a fiery tabloid journalist — trying to unravel the secret of their father’s murky past. Starring Nelly Tagar and Joy Rieger. In Hebrew, English, Polish and German with English subtitles.

Based on a true story, "Past Life" tracks the daring 1977 trans-European odyssey of two sisters–one an introverted ambitious classical music composer, and the other a combative politics and porn magazine editor--who are daughters of Holocaust survivors. As they try to unravel a disturbing wartime mystery that has cast a foreboding shadow on their entire lives, they realize that freedom from the shackles of the past requires painful sacrifices, as does the struggle to discover one’s unique voice.
