Wo der Himmel aufgeht (2018)
Esther Bejarano was able to survive Auschwitz thanks to music. At the age of 92, the singer realizes a dream and gives concerts in Cuba with her son Joram and the rap group Microphone Mafia. The audience is amazed to hear her life story, and Esther finally gets an answer to the question of whether revolutionary Cuba has eliminated anti-Semitism. In sensitive images, the film tells of an encounter in friendship. Rousing concert recordings make the enthusiasm of the Cuban audience for a unique woman and her dream of a world whose sky rises equally for all who live under it tangible.
