Dis-moi

An intimate documentary portrait of three elderly spirited Jewish women who survived the Holocaust. They invite Akerman into their Paris apartments, feed and regale her with stories about exile and deportation alongside those about love and acts of kindness, while also chiding, ‘Eat or else I won’t tell you the rest’. Meanwhile, Akerman’s own mother can be heard on voiceover discussing her grandmother, who she lived with after she returned from Auschwitz, where her parents died.

A young mother reflects on her life and confides in a friend, played by Akerman.

Total running time 77min.
