This 2006 DocAviv and Israeli Academy Award winner for best documentary is an unconventional father-son roadtrip that is nonetheless touching for its unlikely beginnings. Filmmaker Shahar Cohen’s father asks him to make a film about the Jewish Brigade, in which he had served during WWII. Shahar becomes enthusiastic when he realizes his father may have left behind some “souvenirs” with two local girls while stationed in Amsterdam. Shahar is determined to reunite his father with his lost children,  while filming this historical documentary. The two set out on the trail of the Jewish Brigade, starting in Israel, continuing through Italy, Germany and ending in Holland with a surprising discovery. This charming story unfolds with humor and intrigue, and exposes a complex father-son relationship with great compassion.
