Synopsis

Saul Birnbaum was a hidden child torn away from his parents by the Kindertransport at six years old and shipped from Vienna to Brussels.
In 1986, Saul is now on the path to resilience, reinventing his life. He has opened a one-of-a-kind deli where the art of cinema truly takes centre stage – like a film set where the action never stops. As an aspiring film producer, Saul has found a protégé in a young Chilean director who fled Pinochet’s dictatorship and wants to tell the story of Saul’s childhood.
Then love comes knocking on Saul’s door and forces him to confront his past.
