Lukas is an aimless young man who works in a tollbooth watching the L.A. traffic, and life, pass him by. A chance encounter with a Holocaust survivor sparks his curiosity and he finds himself increasingly focused on survivors and their experiences. When he begins volunteering for an organization that collects oral histories from Holocaust survivors, his interest grows into an obsession. As his sanity teeters, Lukas is at once admirably concerned with memorializing the horror, while more disturbingly transfixed by the sheer obscenity of suffering. First-time feature director Gil Kofman creates a searing character study of Taxi Driver-like intensity.
