Oma & Bella

About This Movie

Oma & Bella offers a deeply personal look at the lives of two Holocaust survivors, Regina (Oma) and Bella, as they navigate their everyday existence in modern-day Berlin. The film unfolds at a leisurely pace, almost like a warm conversation over a pot of soup. Their bond is palpable, and the way they cook together reveals layers of memory and culture, turning the kitchen into a space of both nostalgia and healing. You see the weight of their histories in their gestures and smiles, and it makes you reflect on the power of food as a connection to the past. This isn't just about survival; it’s about how they choose to thrive in the shadow of their experiences. There's a raw honesty here that really resonates.
