L'Alternativa Parallel / Boris Lehman / À la recherche du lieu de ma naissance

Synopsis

Boris Lehman was born into a Polish–Jewish family in Lausanne at the height of the Second World War. Forty years later, now an established filmmaker in Brussels, he decides to return to his birthplace. Armed with a few photos, letters and documents but no memories, he wanders through the city in search of a thread to lead him back to his past, signs of his early life, evidence of his very existence. A filmmaker tracking down his origins.
