Lunch, Film Screening, and Q&A with director Barnabás Tóth - part of Jewish Studies Week
About the film
Those Who Remained (2019) is a Hungarian drama directed by Barnabás Tóth, set in the aftermath of World War II. The film follows the unexpected bond between two Holocaust survivors: a middle-aged doctor, Aldó, who lost his family in the camps, and a teenage girl, Klára, who is struggling with the trauma of losing her parents. Their growing connection offers a quiet, tender exploration of healing, grief, and the human need for love in the shadow of immense loss. The film is significant for its nuanced portrayal of post-Holocaust life, focusing not on the horrors of war, but on the emotional aftermath and resilience of survivors. It was Hungary’s official entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards and was shortlisted, gaining international attention for its sensitive storytelling and powerful performances.
