Ida

Poland 1962. Anna is a beautiful 18-year-old woman, preparing to become a nun at the convent where she has lived since orphaned as a child. She learns she has a living relative she must visit before taking her vows, her mother's sister, Wanda.

Together, the two women embark on a voyage of discovery of each other and their past. Her aunt, she learns is not only a former hard-line Communist state prosecutor notorious for sentencing priests and others to death, but also a Jew. Anna learns that she too is Jewish - and that her real name is Ida. This revelation sets Anna, now Ida, on a journey to uncover her roots and confront the truth about her family.

Ida must choose between their native identity and religion that saved her from the massacres of the Nazi occupation of Poland. And Wanda must face decisions taken during the war, when she chose loyalty to the cause rather than the family.
