An amateur filmmaker living in the 1920s and 1930s dies without any trace of his family and inheritors. One day a man shows up and claims he spotted his mother in the films the mysterious man recorded, and says his mother was secretive about his grandfather and their family. They start an investigation, and slowly, the 20th century Jewish family’s story unfolds. The once familyless grandchild gets closer to not only his lost grandpa, but his other relatives, too.
