Twelve years after being ordained as a Catholic priest, Romuald Waszkinel discovered that he was born to Jewish parents who gave him away to save him from the Holocaust. The film follows his amazing journey, from conducting mass in a church in Poland to life as an observant Jew in a religious kibbutz in Israel. Romuald is torn between two identities and unable to renounce either religion.
Director Ronit Kertsner will speak following the film.
