Description

Feferle, a whimsical and childlike being, awakens one fateful day with the unsettling knowledge that something terrible has happened. The sudden loss of her father shatters her world, leading her into a poignant exploration of family history. Tasked with sorting through the cluttered apartment, Feferle delves into the material remains, with each item revealing the story of generations and encapsulating a century, a region, and the intricate history of a Jewish family wandering through Eastern Europe. "Feferle" unfolds as a touching tale of a young woman's quest to make sense of her past, finding solace amid the artifacts that narrate not just her father's life but the rich mosaic of a bygone era.
