1. The Photographer At Sixteen
The Death and Life of a Fighter
A reverse-chronological meditation that reconstructs a mother’s life—from her death in England back through exile after the 1956 uprising, years as a photographer in Budapest, marriage and motherhood, and ultimately the wartime ordeals she endured as a Jewish teenager—using photographs, documents, and memory to explore how trauma, displacement, and secrecy reverberate across generations.
