Full Description
A mother/daughter road trip to the Caribbean Islands, the Netherlands, Spain, India and Korea, searching for the remaining traces of Jewish life in the Diaspora. Adventurous Vancouver filmmaker, Nikila Cole, takes her 12-year-old daughter, Sarah, on a trip around the world to connect with their Judaism and bond one last time before the adolescent battles begin. This utterly charming film is a coming of age tale where promises of sun and sparkling beaches result in a “travelling Bat Mitzvah.” (Hint: mothers bring your daughters to this one!)
