SYNOPSIS

In 1946, three young Jewish teenagers met at the Ben Shemen school, in Palestine. Each had been traumatised by the Holocaust. These women, now in their late eighties, recount the ways in which Ben Shemen offered a healing refuge, through its humane outlook and the privileging of creativity.
