A Song For You – ReelHeART International Film Festival – Canadian Premiere- Friday, June 27^th

George and Gisela Karp, together with their infant daughter, escaped across the Pyrenees with the help of the French Resistance. The film reveals the impact of the holocaust on the next generation and celebrates the bravery of those who risked their own lives to save the family.

In 1943, the Karp family escaped the Nazis by crossing the Pyrenees on foot, aided by the French Resistance. For five harrowing years, they were on the run, sometimes only steps ahead of Hitler’s troops. Carrying the burden of their parents’ trauma, the filmmaker and her sisters return to Europe to confront events of the past in an attempt to separate them from the present.

The story is told through interviews with the filmmaker’s mother, segments of a book written by the filmmaker’s father, home movies, photographs, documents and historical footage. The mother’s songs are threaded throughout the film, as singing brought relief and hope in desperate times.

A SONG FOR YOU is a story of resilience and survival through strength of will, luck, and the help of others.
