A prodigy nicknamed "the miracle child" by the poet Avrom Sutzkever, Samuel Bak held his first exhibition in 1942 at the age of 9 in the Vilnius ghetto. Today an internationally renowned painter, he returns, before the camera of his daughter Daniela Bak, to his childhood in the ghetto, his miraculous survival with his mother, but also to the birth of his artistic language: a universe of symbols, metaphors and reconstructed fragments that become philosophical meditations on memory, loss, chance and the human condition.
