Everything Is Illuminated
Synopsis
A young American man travels to Ukraine with a faded photograph, hoping to find the woman who saved his grandfather during the Nazi occupation. He's assisted by a quirky translator whose English is a work of art, a blind old man with a past, and a dog with a very human name. Their search for truth becomes a journey that upends everything they thought they knew.
