Synopsis
Anny Junek, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor, loves dressing up for the Jewish holiday of Purim. In fact, she’s the three-time champion of her Israeli retirement home’s annual costume contest (as a bride, a Smurf, and a handyman). After losing her parents in Auschwitz and surviving Bergen-Belsen, Anny settled in Mexico where she grew her family. Now a great-grandmother in Israel, Anny and her family have hatched a plan for a fourth win: a chicken costume.
