Give as a gift
A musical fable about a father, Konnie, and son, Robbie, and a gift that gives voice to a haunted past. A charismatic and irrepressible storyteller, Konnie is also shadowed by a memory that has remained hidden in the woods of his childhood: how as a young boy, he survived the Holocaust. A turn in both their lives comes when Konnie gives 7-year-old Robbie a guitar, neither realizing that it will allow Robbie to tell the only story his father never could. The film was selected for the 2024 New Hope Film Festival in Philadelphia and won Best Feature at the 2024 North Carolina Film Festival.
