An enchanting journey into history that celebrates life and the immortality of memories, this is the uplifting story of the peaceful and secluded 130-year-old Weissensee Jewish Cemetery, on 100 acres of splendid, lush wooded land north of noisy Berlin, Germany. The meticulously kept cemetery has operated continuously under Jewish authority even during the Nazi regime and holds 115,000 graves with their fascinating stories. This surprisingly film features an array of colorful characters: mourners, a wise storybook rabbi, treasure hunters and tourists, a young family residing at the cemetery, a third-generation gravedigger and an ornithologist studying rare birds of prey.

Winner, Panorama Audience Award, Berlin International Film Festival, 2011.
