Winter Journey

Tucson, Arizona, 1996. Elderly George Goldsmith, at his son Martin's request, reluctantly opens the door to his past. His memories carry us to Nazi Germany, where he was a young man from a family of Jewish musicians. Their lives became entangled with the Jüdischer Kulturbund, a paradoxical Jewish cultural association sponsored by Reichsminister Joseph Goebbels. This is a story of art surviving in a vacuum, of music performed under the watchful eye of the oppressor, and of a personal history buried deep within the chilling absurdity of state-sanctioned culture.
