My Name Is Sara plot
Sara Góralnik is a 13-year-old Polish-Jewish girl whose entire family is murdered by the Nazis in September 1942. After a tiring flight to the Ukrainian countryside, Sara takes on the identity of her Christian best friend. She finds shelter and work with a farmer and his young wife and children. She soon discovers things in their marriage that she should keep quiet about. But the biggest secret she has to keep to herself is her true identity.

Atmospheric, sometimes heartbreaking production about a Jewish girl who finds shelter with a Ukrainian farmer and his family during WWII. Director Steven Oritt is hardly tempted by excessive violence (which was ubiquitous at that time and in that place), but everyday anti-Semitism, hunger and war are nevertheless present throughout the film. The dialogues are a thing. Polish language with subtitles would have been many times stronger than the crooked English I heard under my version. Michalina Olszanska may look a bit too American, the sauerkraut is first bruised and then salted and the mowing with the scythe is mainly done by women (because of the hip work), but otherwise a fine film.

Films about the Holocaust invariably produce harrowing stories. This also applies to this film about a Jewish teenager from Poland who goes into hiding in a nearby farm in Ukraine, in an environment where anti-Semitism is rampant, not to mention the Nazis. A thoughtful film based on a true story. Newcomer Zusanna Surowy is a pleasant surprise in the title role.
