Step into a reconstruction of 84 year-old Sonja’s early childhood and the story of her parents. During World War II, as a three-year-old child, Sonja was separated from them and subsequently grew up with her aunt and uncle in Paramaribo, Suriname. Based on fragments of memories and handed down stories, a subjective history emerges, one that feels both elusive and true to life.
