Treasure (STRAZEcinema)

A film marking the day of remembrance for the victims of National Socialism.
Feature film / DE, FR 2024 / Director: Julia von Heinz / 112 min. / Original version with German subtitles / PG-12

Shortly after the fall of the Iron Curtain, New York music journalist Ruth Rothwax travels to Poland with her father Edek to explore the legacy of her Jewish family. For Edek, a Holocaust survivor, it is his first trip back to the places of his childhood. While Ruth is determined to better understand her parents' traumas, the ever-cheerful Edek wants to leave the past behind. So he sabotages Ruth's plans, creating more than a few unintentionally comical situations. During this eventful week, the two uncover old family secrets. Their fragile relationship grows into love and deep understanding.

With the film adaptation of the roman à clef “Too Many Men” by bestselling author Lily Brett, German filmmaker and screenwriter Julia von Heinz presents her most ambitious work to date.

The movie poster for “Treasure - Family is a Foreign Country” presents a scene that radiates both warmth and a certain distance. In the foreground are two main characters, a woman and a man, facing each other. The woman, played by Lena Dunham, wears a striking scarf and carries a camera, which could indicate a journey or a search. The man, Stephen Fry, appears thoughtful and somewhat absent-minded. The background is decorated in warm gold and brown tones, with a striking pattern reminiscent of a reception or lobby area. The word “RECEPJA” is prominently placed, further locating the scene. The lighting is soft, creating an intimate atmosphere, while the characters' clothing suggests a cooler environment. The typography of the title “TREASURE” is large and bold, emphasizing the film's significance. The subtitle “FAMILY IS A STRANGE LAND” hints at themes such as family relationships, identity, and the search for belonging. The mention of Lily Brett's bestseller “Too Many Men” and the awards from the Berlinale and Tribeca Film Festival signal the film's artistic and critical acclaim. Overall, the poster conveys a mood of exploration and personal growth, possibly in the context of a journey that is both physical and emotional. The interaction between the two main characters suggests a significant encounter or turning point in their relationship. -image description copied from filmposter-archiv.de
