I DON’T SPEAK BECAUSE I HAVE
THE POWER TO SPEAK;
I SPEAK BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE
THE POWER TO REMAIN SILENT.

RABBI ABRAHAM ISAAC KOOK

SYNOPSIS

At the dawn of World War II, a young girl, Frida, is confused and challenged by the selfless examples of compassion shown by the Rabbi of her community.

When she loses her father in a senseless act of violence, Frida cannot understand how the same profound humanity that comforts her also embraces the people responsible for the loss of her father.

Finally, facing her most difficult hour, Frida realizes the profound grace of unconditional compassion as she inspires a vital ray of hope in those who need it the most and saves the life of her dear friend the Rabbi.
