Treasure - ICFF - Lavazza IncluCity.

PLOT : A father-daughter road trip set in 1990s Poland, Treasure follows Ruth, an American music journalist, and her father, Edek, a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor, on a journey to his homeland. Ruth hopes to uncover the truth about her family’s past and reconnect with a history that has always felt out of reach. But Edek has an agenda of his own. As they visit the places of his youth, he resists reliving painful memories. This emotional, funny culture clash of two New Yorkers exploring post-socialist Poland is a powerful example of how reconnecting with family and the past can be an unexpected treasure.
