My Father’s Secrets

Lest we forget


Véra Belmont

In the 60s, in Belgium, Michel and his brother Charly lived a happy childhood in their Jewish family. Their father, silent and discreet, did not reveal his past. The two brothers imagine him as a great adventurer, pirate, or treasure hunter....but what is he hiding? My Father's Secrets is an intimate, funny and thought-provoking film that focuses on a family's journey to reconciliation after facing the trauma of the Holocaust. Based on the autobiographical novel by Israeli author Michel Kichka.
