Hanna's Sleeping Dogs
Synopsis
Adventurous nine-year-old Johanna senses something
is not right in her working-class community of Wels,
where an idyllic façade hides historical traumas.
Events take a dramatic turn when Johanna discovers
that her anguished mother and blind grandmother
are Jewish, having survived the war under assumed
identities. Rather than let sleeping dogs lie, mother
and daughter must decide whether to live in
continued isolation, or allow Johanna to reveal her
true heritage under her real name, Hanna.
