Voyages

synopsis

Emmanuel Finkiel's debut film "Voyages" elegantly and wistfully courses through three countries, over two continents, and in several languages, exploring the emotional landscape of the last generation of Holocaust survivors as they struggle to make peace with their uprooted pasts before it's too late. Divided into discrete portions, "Voyages" serves up a trilogy of seemingly unrelated female characters whose destinies don't so much collide (for that would be too easy) as they do casually intermingle -- as if they were somehow cosmically joined by fate.
