Synopsis

Seven-year-old Mischka's world splits in two when her Russo-Jewish family flees the USSR for Vienna. She navigates a new life of Barbie dolls and German lessons, but a part of her remains tethered to her homeland's terrifying folktales and insidious anti-Semitism. As her parents' marriage crumbles and her sister withdraws, Mischka must reconcile her divided heart and head to find her own path.
