L'Chaim!: To Life!

When his mother falls ill and needs help, he decides to move in with her in Antwerp. He sacrifices himself for her with devotion and sees it as his mission to dispel her pain, precisely because she is a Holocaust survivor. Their life together is marked by tenderness, affectionate teasing and humor. With great closeness we accompanied their everyday life.
