Mamaliga Blues

In 1931, Abram Tolpolar and his wife, Rachel, emigrated from Bessarabia, Moldova to southern Brazil. After 77 years, their only child, Mauro Tolpolar, makes the trip back. Accompanied by his two kids, who never had a chance to meet their grandparents, Mauro visits his parents’ birthplace in order to find answers to an unrevealed past. Having only one remaining photograph of a lost family grave, the Tolpolars drive through ancient villages, walk through abandoned cemeteries, and meet locals in their quest to find out what happened to their relatives who disappeared during the Holocaust.
