A Zionist pioneer dreams of finding his brother Guttman, who disappeared during the Holocaust. For years, his daughter, Ilana Ben-Ezri, sought to uncover his story—along with those of her English mother, Latvian father, and the often-incompatible pioneers who built a community in Binyamina.
Premiered at the Miami Jewish Film Festival in 2022, the documentary reveals a world of long-hidden stories rooted in Lebanese, Latvian, and British heritage.
Speaker, Ilana Ben-Ezri, a retired educational inspector, dreamt of finding her uncle Guttman for her
father. With no clues at all, save the name of the town, she embarked on her search.
