Three stories of elderly Jews trying to find a way to reconcile the blandness of the modern world with what they know and remember about the Holocaust. In friendly post-Communist Poland, a 65-year-old Frenchwoman joins a group bus tour from Warsaw visiting the Jewish cemetery before heading to Auschwitz; their vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere. In a Parisian middle-class neighborhood, an aging widow receives a letter from a Lithuanian man claiming to be her father, who she always assumed had died in the camps. In the hustle and bustle of Tel Aviv, a tireless Russian emigre traverses the city in search of a distant cousin.
