The Windows on Rue Saint Dominique
On a visit to Montreal several decades ago, a young man visited his uncles' egg distribution warehouse. In a dusty storeroom filled with clutter, he discovered stacks of matching stained-glass windows, each with a Star of David in the center. By the time the building was sold some 20 years later, all of these windows had vanished from the storeroom.
"The Windows on Rue Saint-Dominique" follows the filmmaker's quest to find the windows and the surprising discoveries that unfold along the way.
"“Along the way, the trail of windows, of glass, raises themes of continuity, trauma and Jewish identity, alongside tales of friendship, betrayal, and loss…” - The Canadian Jewish News
