| Summary |
"In the winter of 1945, Primo Levi, one of the century's greatest writers, was liberated from the Auschwitz concentration camp. With the war still underway, he embarked on a thousand-mile journey to his home in Turin, Italy-- a strange, beguiling odyssey memorialized in his book, 'The Reawakening'. Sixty years later, director Davide Ferrario set out to follow in Levi's footsteps. Retracing his historic trip, the film weaves a path through a modern Europe that has both changed and remained eerily the same-- from democratic rallies in the East to neo-Nazi demonstrations in the West"--Container |
