Synopsis

Saül Birnbaum became a “hidden child”, when at the age of only 6, he had to be separated from his parents to escape the impending Shoah and was sent abroad by a so-called “Kindertransport”, from Vienna to Brussels. In 1986, Saül is on the path to resilience. He reinvents his life and tries to re-enchant it by opening a delicatessen, unlike any other, where the art of cinema takes centre stage every single day. Saül and his protégé Joakin, a young Chilean director who fled Pinochet, decide to turn the story of Saül’s childhood into a film, allowing both of them to overcome their trauma. Alas, love comes knocking on Saül’s door and he is forced to confront his past.
