On the occasion of a retrospective exhibit of his work, painter Samuel Bak returned to his hometown of Vilna. There he walked through the streets of the Vilna Ghetto where he was interned with his parents during the Holocaust, and visited the nearby forest where his father and grandfather were murdered. This documentary explores Bak's work and life through the lens of his childhood experiences.
