Trailer for Anyuka

A story of a marvelous and tragic life as told across three generations.

Interweaving super 8 family films, archival material and experimental animation, a granddaughter takes a deep dive into the remarkable life of her indomitable grandmother: a writer, WWII refugee and Holocaust survivor. “Anyuka” meaning mother in Hungarian, explores: intergenerational trauma, the Jewish diaspora, immigration, motherhood, and religious identity—to tell the story of a tragic and marvelous life across continents.
